Abstract
A case of an ectopic scrotum located in the right inguinal area is described. The left hemiscrotum was in normal location, and each hemiscrotum contained testis. The boy also had an infralevator-type anorectal malformation. Initially, anoplasty was performed, and scrotal reconstruction was carried out 1 month later. The authors also reviewed the embryological explanation of ectopic scrotum in the literature.
