Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the scrotum has been used as a valuable supplemental diagnostic modality in evaluating scrotal pathology, mostly recommended in cases of inconclusive sonographic findings. Because of the advantages of the technique, MR imaging of the scrotum may provide valuable information in the detection and characterization of various scrotal diseases. The technique may ac...

Objectives. To present the clinical case of an inguino-scrotal hernia of the ureter, complicated by the presence of a urothelial carcinoma brought to our notice as painful scrotal swelling. Materials and methods. The patient is an 85-year-old male presenting an inveterate right inguinal hernia with acute and worsening scrotal pain. Upon examination of the hemiscrotum an inguinal hernia was foun...

Instrascrotal capillary haemangiomas are very rare benign tumours. They usually present as a scrotal mass, which requires scrotal exploration and tumour excision for definitive diagnosis. They can be easily misinterpreted as testicular tumours, epididymal cysts or sarcomas. Imaging is usually of limited diagnostic value, but can reliably exclude testicular cancer. Their identification is import...

Neonatal scrotal hematoma is a rare genitourinary emergency. Some cases have underlining aetiologic factors such as testicular torsion, adrenal hemorrhage, or birth trauma, and others are idiopathic. Previously, immediate scrotal exploration was considered imperative for diagnosis and treatment. With good imaging techniques, some patients are managed nonoperatively. We report a case of idiopath...

Paratesticular tumours are pathologically rare. The vast majority are benign in nature with adenomatoid tumours representing the most common pathological entity. We present the case of a 32-year-old man, from the Indian subcontinent, who presented with a painful scrotal swelling sustained after trauma. The history suggested that the scrotal mass had been present for approximately 12 months, and...

BACKGROUND The acute scrotum is a medical emergency . The acute scrotum is defined as scrotal pain, swelling, and redness of acute onset. Scrotal abnormalities can be divided into three groups , which are extra-testicular lesion, intra-testicular lesion and trauma. This is a retrospective analysis of 164 ultrasound examination performed in patient arriving in the emergency room for scrotal pain...

38 Because acute scrotal pain, swelling, and/or inflammation are a potential surgical emergency, prompt and accurate diagnosis is crucial. The 3 most common etiologies of acute scrotal pain in the pediatric age group are epididymitis, torsion of the appendix testis, and testicular torsion. There are numerous other causes of scrotal pain, which include hernia, hydrocele, trauma, Henoch-Schonlein...

Angiomyolipoma (AML) is a benign, histologically complex mesenchymal tumor arising mainly from the kidney and liver. The majority (80%) of these tumors arise as sporadic tumors, while 20% of them are associated with tuberous sclerosis. Extra-renal sites of AML, though rare, have been reported in literature. In this report, we describe a case of AML arising from the scrotal skin, and presenting ...
