Penoscrotal avulsion injuries are rare surgical emergencies. The best treatment for penile avulsions is split skin graft, although late results of split-grafted scrotal avulsions are not superior. Scrotal skin avulsions require additional judgment for the treatment, because there are several available treatment options. Scrotal skin remnants must be used to cover whenever possible.
Midline clefts of the lower lip, mandible, tongue, and neck are rare congenital deformities and are classified as facial cleft no. 30 by Tessier. This is a report of a patient who presented with congenital fibrotic neck cord but no lower lip cleft, which has been the most frequently observed pathognomonic sign of this anomaly. The patient was treated initially for thyroglossal remnant. In the patients who present with a fibrotic cord located at the cervical midline without a lower lip cleft, the diagnosis of facial cleft no. 30 should be kept in mind.
