    Abstract:
    A 66-year-old male patient has been on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) since 1993, and was diagnosed with right hydrocele of the spermatic cord in 1998. He repeatedly developed CAPD-related bacterial peritonitis 3 times. In February 2001, hemodialysis was prescribed for treatment of mycotic peritonitis. A palpable mass was noted in the right inguinal region in October 2001 and a computed tomographic (CT) scan disclosed a 4 cm circular lesion with relatively low density and thick wall in the right inguinal region. Spermatic-orchiectomy was performed. Histological diagnosis was mycosis like Candida on the abscess wall. To our knowledge, this is the first case of spermatic cord abscess in a CAPD patient in the Japanese literature.
