Familial mediterranean fever in the differantial diagnosis of pediatric acute scrotum

Abstract

The acute pediatric scrotum is a common clinical condition that can present a diagnostic dilemma for even the most experienced physician. The most important condition to rule out is torsion of the testis. Here we present a case of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) with two episodes of scrotal swelling to remind that FMF should also be considered in the differential diagnosis of pediatric acute scrotum.
