Unilateral genital hypertrophy is rare phenomenon, occurring in both boys and girls. due to their rarity and laterality, these can be misdiagnosed as malignant tumors, resulting in unnecessary biopsy or operation. Therefore, correct recognition of these tumor mimickers is important. We presented representative cases of childhood asymmetrical labium majus enlargement (CALME) and unilateral enlargement of the testis. Typical radiological feature of CALME is the unilateral swelling of labia majora with heterogeneous signal intensity with low-intensity strands on magnetic resonance imaging. On the other hand, homogenous enlargement is the key feature for unilateral enlargement of the testis.
