Zusammenfassung:A 5-month-old boy presented with right scrotal swelling. Color Doppler ultrasonography showed an encapsulated hypoechoic lesion with surrounding hyperemia in the right tail of the epididymis. We performed surgical exploration of the scrotum because it was not considered to be a typical epididymitis. During the operation, we aspirated pus from his right epididymis through a needle by referring to the color Doppler findings. This is the first case of epididymal abscess in an infant to be successfully diagnosed and treated with needle aspiration.
