Cutis. 2006;77:89-92.
Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is the most common cause of nonthrombocytopenic purpura in children. The clinical picture is classically a cutaneous purpuric eruption of the legs and buttocks and infrequently the upper torso and extremities. Arthritis, gastrointestinal tract symptoms, and nephritis are other common findings typically associated with the cutaneous findings. We present an unusual case of HSP with scrotal swelling and orchitis.
