ABSTRACT
Androctonus crassicauda is the second most frequent causes of scorpion sting in south-west Iran. Its venom can cause sever pain, autonomic, central nervous system [CNS], muscle function disturbances, and death. Appropriate medical and nursing cares can lead to complete recovery with no sequel. The majority of scorpion stings are oligosymptomatic, occurring mainly on the hands and feet [about 90%]. Here one rare case of a scorpion sting on the scrotum is reported from Kashan, central Iran
