RESUMO
Acute pancreatitis is a common diagnosis. Although extremely rare, extravasated pancreatic fluid has the potential to third space into the peritoneal cavity or retroperitoneal space. We report the case of a 33-year-old male with idiopathic subacute pancreatitis who developed acute scrotal pain and swelling. Computer tomography of the abdomen/pelvis revealed tracking of peritoneal fluid into the scrotum consistent with a pancreatic hydrocele, confirmed by ultrasound. He was taken to the operating room for exploration and evacuation of the scrotal hydrocele. This case highlights the importance of active surveillance for the potential development of a scrotal hydrocele in acute pancreatitis.

Fracture of the penis is a well-recognized yet relatively uncommon urologic event. Forceful, blunt trauma with lateral bending of the penis in an erect state typically results in a transverse rupture of the tunica albuginea of the corpus cavernosum. Longitudinal tears of the corpus cavernosum are by themselves considered infrequent. We present a rare case of a patient with longitudinal rupture of the distal corpus cavernosum with concomitant extension to the corpus spongiosum causing partial urethral disruption as a result of trauma during sexual intercourse.
