We report an unusual case of a leiomyoma of the spermatic cord. The tumor did not present as a mass but presented as a hard structure along the spermatic cord. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of a leiomyoma of the spermatic cord with such an unusual appearance.

Primary osteosarcoma of the spermatic cord is a rare tumour with few mentions in the literature. A 59-year-old man presented with a large painless left inguinal and scrotal mass. The patient underwent excision of the mass, which arose from the spermatic cord. A left high dissection of the spermatic cord and radical orchiectomy due to associated atrophy of the left testicle were performed. Patho...

INTRODUCTION Leiomyosarcoma is a malignant soft tissue tumor that can arise from any tissue containing smooth muscle. Leiomyosarcomas of the spermatic cord are rare tumors of non-testicular origin, which drain into the retroperitoneal lymph nodes and have been reported in less than 150 cases in the literature until now. Radical inguinal orchiectomy and high ligation of the cord is the standard ...

Differential diagnosis of acute scrotum especially with acute epididymis and testicular torsion should be made promptly, as testicular torsion is a true surgical emergency of the highest order. In this manuscript, two demonstrative cases introducing with acute scrotum and diagnosed with scintigraphy and color Doppler ultrasonography were presented to recall the knowledge.

INTRODUCTION Torsion of the penis is a condition where the penis rotates around its longitudinal axis, whether congenital or acquired. Extreme degrees may provoke a cosmetic complaint. AIM We describe surgical correction of congenital torsion of the penis in adults, and its prevalence among a special patient group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Success and ease of surgical repair. METHODS Sixteen...

PURPOSE The hypothesis of association between testicular torsion and hyperactive cremasteric reflex, worsened by cold weather, has not been proved. Thirteen studies in the literature evaluated this issue, with inconclusive results. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the seasonality of testicular torsion in a large subset of patients surgically treated in Brazil, and additionally to es...

A 31-year-old man with recurrent testicular torsion and infertility was found to have a fusional anomaly of the epididymis on scrotal exploration in which only the head of epididymis was attached to the testis, while the body and tail were completely free. He had bilateral orchidopexy, which relieved pain and recurrent torsion. He was then referred for fertility treatment. Literature search has...

Clinical symptoms and signs of ovarian torsion are often nonspecific, and imaging studies have a crucial role in making an accurate timely diagnosis. Ultrasound with color Doppler is often the initial investigation. However, as illustrated in our case, a normal Doppler study cannot exclude the diagnosis of ovarian torsion, and MRI should be performed if a high degree of concern for ovarian tors...
