A 5-month-old boy presented with bilateral hydroceles since birth and right leg edema. An ultrasound of the pelvis showed a 4-cm cystic mass that was diagnosed as a teratoma or cystic hygroma. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed, which showed a dumbbell shaped contiguous, fluid filled mass extending intraabdominally through the inguinal canal from the scrotum.
