The scrotal wall may be involved in a variety of pathologic processes. Such lesions may rise primarily from the layers of the scrotum or may be due to a process arising from scrotal content. Imaging is not needed in most cases, but it may be useful for making such differentiations and for evaluation of possible involvement of the testes and epididymides in cases of primary wall abnormalities. This pictorial essay will show the imaging findings observed in a variety of pathologic conditions affecting the scrotal wall, both common and unusual ones, with an emphasis on clinically relevant findings and features that lead to a specific diagnosis.

A 72-year-old man with a large soft swelling in the right ventrolateral abdominal region without swelling in the scrotum, operated on right inguinal hernia at pediatric age. Clinical findings revealed a giant right ventrolateral hernia and abdominal CT showed weakness of the abdominal wall with a 25 cm long hernial sac with an apex under the right costal arch and a base at the deep inguinal opening, that was diagnosed as a recurrent inguinal hernia with unusual presentation.

Necrotizing fasciitis is a potentially life-threatening infection that can lead to rapid muscular and fascial necrosis, often resulting in sepsis. In addition to the rapid disease progression, diagnosing this disease in children can be challenging as they cannot accurately communicate their symptoms. Spontaneous necrotizing fasciitis secondary to Clostridial infection has rarely been described in the literature but occurs in neutropenic patients with significant morbidity and mortality from myonecrosis and gas gangrene.
