Cover image: Findings from Case 1. The patient was a 3‐year‐old boy with a right inguinal mass. (a) Ultrasound reveals a hyperechoic line (white arrows) in the scrotum. Air can be seen located in the subcutaneous tissue. (b) Plain radiography shows massive pneumatosis intestinalis in the colon (open arrow) and rectum (open dotted arrows). An air bubble is seen in the scrotum (white arrow).

The air bubble can be seen spread inside and outside of the abdominal wall (open arrowheads).
