Management of an elderly patient with retention of a steel nail in the scrotum: a case report.

Background: The retention of foreign bodies inside the body during ludic/sexual procedures or for traumatism represents one of the causes of visits to accident and emergency departments that often requires surgical removal of the foreign body. However, there are cases where the discovery of such foreign bodies takes place after many years, as in patients that are slightly compromised from a neuro-sociological point of view.

Case Presentation: A 76-year-old male presented to an outpatient urological examination due to an increase in scrotal volume.
