Abstract

4-Year-Old Boy with Right Scrotal Pain, Discoloration and Swelling

Ashley Landsman*

Heavy metal toxicity from soft tissue sources is rare and carries unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Our case involves a previously healthy 4-year-old boy who presented to the emergency department due to worsening right hemiscrotal pain and swelling for 10 days, originally attributed to a torsed, unviable testicle. On surgical exploration, several tiny metallic beads were found and later identified as containing mercury.
