    Author: Campobasso P, Schieven E, Gifuni G.
    Journal: Minerva Pediatr; 1995 Nov; 47(11):483-7. PubMed ID: 8684344.
    Abstract:
    Spontaneous hemorrhage of the scrotum in the newborn is an entity very rarely encountered in clinical practice and characterized by scrotal mass and slightly bluish discoloration. We present two cases of spontaneous idiopathic hemorrhage of the scrotum and review the literature. The difficulty in establishing the diagnosis and ruling out testicular torsion is outlined. The importance of ultrasounds in distinguishing between testicular and scrotal acute disease is stressed. Indications for surgery are: the important scrotal hematoma and the patent processus vaginalis.
