Journal Title: International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 4

Abstract

Hydrocele is a condition where abnormal accumulation of fluid occurs in the tunica vaginalis. It is a very common condition seen in surgical practice. Giant hydrocele containing more than 1000ml of fluid in the hydrocele sac is very rare. Because of its large size this condition can have a very bad effect on quality of life in terms of limitations in work capacity, sexual disabilities, infertility and many other psychosocial problems. We report a case of 52year male presented with a left sided scrotal swelling with a partially buried penis. Hydrocelectomy was done and 1.5litres of straw coloured fluid drained from the hydrocele sac.
