Traumatic dislocation of the testicle is a rare complication that occurs after blunt trauma to the scrotum or abdominopelvic injury. The majority of cases occur in young adults following severe scrotal trauma in a motorcycle accident. We report the case of a 1.5-year-old infant admitted for left scrotal swelling with a left inguinal mass. Ultrasound and Doppler examination showed a twisted necrotic testicle with inguinal adenopathy. Surgical exploration in the emergency room confirmed that the inguinal mass was a dislocated testicle with an intrascrotal hematoma that was evacuated followed by orchidopexy of the dislocated testicle.
