Abstrakt:	Scrotal necrosis is a rare occurrence that is scarcely reported among patients having undergone heated intra-peritoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) procedures. Due to anatomic factors and the thermally enhanced cytotoxicity of chemotherapeutic agents, this complication can have debilitating post-operative effects. We herein highlight the presentation of scrotal necrosis in a patient who underwent HIPEC procedure for peritoneal metastasis secondary to colorectal carcinoma, and how it contrasts to previously documented cases of a similar nature. Furthermore, we describe a successful management strategy that consisted of conservative measures followed by surgical debridement and primary repair, and enabled the patient to experience significant functional and cosmetic improvement. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist. (Copyright © 2021, Fagih et al.)
