A human bite to the scrotum: a case report and review of the literature.

Abstract
Human bites to the scrotum are rare and can be associated with a high morbidity rate if poorly managed. We report a case of a human bite to the scrotum that was successfully treated with a 5-day course of antibiotics, surgical debridement and healing by secondary intention.
