Abstract (EN): Abdominoscrotal hydroccle (ASH) is a rare condition in childhood. It presents an intraabdominal portion with homogeneous content that is usually excised through a groin approach. A pale child with a recurrent scrotal hydrocele and a huge solid-cystic retroperitoneal mass is reported. Because the diagnostic workup has not ruled out malignancy, a laparotomy was performed; however, ultimate diagnosis was hemorrhagic ASH. The clinical features and surgical management of ASH are addressed. This entity should be considered in front of tense or recurrent hydroceles or coexistent abdominal mass even though with heterogeneous content.
