A rare case of acute scrotum in a 12-year old boy: torsion of a paradidymal cystic appendage (organ of Giraldes).
Journal of Ultrasound 2022 September
Acute scrotum from testicular and epididymal cyst is relatively uncommon, whereas torsion of a cystic paradidymis is exceedingly rare. In this paper, we present the case of a healthy 12-year-old male patient admitted in our emergency room for acute scrotum, in whom diagnosis of torsion of a cystic paradidymis was suggested at color-Doppler US. Surgical exploration after ultrasound examination revealed a cystic paradidymis (Giraldes' organ) (PC) torsion. Immunohistochemical investigations were also performed after cyst excision to confirm the diagnosis. In our experience this is a very rare condition and appears to be only the third case reported in literature and the only one with pre-operative ultrasound (US) images demonstrating the presence of the cyst and its twisted pedicle.
