Introduction Hemiscrotal agenesis is a rare scrotal developmental disorder. Orchiopexy on the opposite side of the scrotum with rugae or scrotoplasty combined with orchiopexy is usually performed as a surgical treatment for hemiscrotal agenesis with cryptorchidism. Till date, there are only eight published case studies of hemiscrotal agenesis. Case presentation A 6‐year‐old boy, who had been previously treated for infantile hemangiomas, was referred by a pediatrician to our hospital for the follow‐up of hemiscrotal agenesis without cryptorchidism. Thermography demonstrated that the temperature of the right scrotal skin with no rugae was higher than that of the left scrotal skin with rugae. The patient's parent declined scrotoplasty because the hemiscrotal agenesis was to be followed up without scrotoplasty and scrotal ultrasonography revealed no abnormal findings in both testes. Conclusion High‐temperature environment may not impair the testicular growth in prepubertal hemiscrotal agenesis without cryptorchidism.

Two cases of infantile perianal pyramidal protrusions (IPPP), one pyramidal in shape and one leaf shaped, are being described by us. Both were notable for coexisting hemangiomas in the close vicinity. To the best of our knowledge we are reporting these two variants of IPPP with the associated neighboring hemangiomas for the first time in Indian dermatologic literature. We suggest that this presentation may be a part of one of the syndromes that comprise anorectal malformations with hemangiomas like PELVIS syndrome and others mentioned in the table.
