Ectopic scrotum is a rare condition, which is described as an anomalous position of one hemiscrotum along the inguinal canal. This anomaly is associated with other genitourinary anomalies. We report a 5-year-old boy with ectopic scrotum and penile torsion, who was successfully treated by simultaneous surgery.
