Abstract

Chronic Epididymitis is a relatively rare problem in boys and is often enigmatic in its etiology. It is often associated with urinary tract abnormalities in infants and prepubertal children. This report describes a rare and unusual case of a chronic epididymitis with acquired scrotal vasocutaneous urinary fistula in an 8-mo-old boy who was found to have a large prostatic utricular cyst and ectopic vas insertion. The authors discuss embryology, pathophysiology, diagnostic dilemma and different treatment options.
