Abstract

The problems of etiology, pathogenesis, clinical course, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of scrotum abscess are discussed in the present literature review. Scrotum abscess is a rare disease; it is developing predominantly as a complication of different acute diseases of organs of the scrotum, small pelvis, retroperitoneal space, abdominal cavity, instrumental and operative interventions connected with them. Scrotum abscess is manifested by a nonspecific clinical picture of acute diseases of scrotum organs; rarely - it has an obliterated clinical course, simulating specific orchitis or malignant scrotum disease. Scrotum abscess is observed among patients of any age, mostly in subjects with burdened immunodeficient comorbid background. In diagnosis of this disease, the leading place belongs to radiation studies, and in its treatment - to surgical techniques. At present, prognosis for scrotum abscess treated with modern techniques is favourable.
