Post-traumatic hematoma of the epididymis: Case-report

Scrotal trauma accounts for less than 1% of all trauma-related injuries. Traumatic injuries of the epididymis are extremely rare.Here we report a rare case of hematoma of the epididymis, diagnosed with US, in a 10-year-old boy after a sport injury.
