Extension of inflammation into the scrotum is rare in acute pancreatitis. If inflammation spreads in the scrotum, it may become severe. Clinicians should be aware of this condition as a possible complication. Proactive imaging testing is recommended when complaining of cyst swelling or testicular pain.
