Abstract
The ''rim sign'' is usually associated with a missed testicular torsio n. Here, a ''rim sign'' was demonstrated during peritoneoscintigraphy, in a case of an indirect inguinal hernia. Activity was found not only along the inguinal canal, hut also around the testicle due to a large patent processus vaginalis. An intravenous injection of Tc-99m pertec hnetate helped evaluate the respective size of the right and left side s of the scrotum.
