Case of the Month

This is a scrotal ultrasound scan in a 12-year-old boy who presented with a painful right testis. The testis was enlarged, reddened and acutely tender to touch but the spermatic cord was normal. There were no urinary symptoms but there was a past history of bilateral dartos pouch orchidopexies, 6 years earlier, for ectopic testes.
