A 15-month-old Caucasian boy had a several-month history of perineal and scrotal bruising. The bruised area was sharply demarcated, occurring to the left without crossing the midline (Figure 1). It was indurated, but non-tender. Similar bruising developed later in the periumbilical region (Cullen sign).
