AB  - A  scrotal  pyocele  is  a  purulent  collection  of  fluid  surrounding  the  testicle  in  the  potential  space  of  the  tunica  vaginalis  and  can  be  distinguished  from  a  hydrocele  by  presence  of  internal  echoes  consistent  with  debris,  septations,  or  loculations.  A  scrotal  pyocele  is  typically  a  sequela  of  adjacent  infection,  such  as  epididymo-orchitis  or  rupture  of  a  testicular  abscess.  Less  commonly,  it  can  be  due  to  tracking  of  an  intraperitoneal  infection  through  the  inguinal  canal.  The  cellular  debris  may  also  be  blood,  such  as  in  a  hematocele,  but  there  is  usually  a  history  of  antecedent  trauma  in  this  setting.
