Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt insertion may be associated with migration into the abdominal wall, gastrointestinal tract, bladder, vagina, scrotum, and mediastinum. Migration of the VP shunt into the scrotum has been rarely reported. We present a 1 year old boy with cerebrospinal fluid hydrocele due to the migration of a VP shunt catheter into the right side scrotum.

adenocarcinomas have a higher occurrence to give rise to cutaneous scrotum metastases. The first case of cutaneous scrotum metastasis was reported in 1939. Until now, only 40 such cases had been published in the literature written in Chinese and English (Supplementary Table 1). The mean reported patient age was 55.5 years, range from 2 years old to 84 years old. The most frequent symptom was cu...

Ectopic scrotum is a rare and unusual presentation to paediatric urology. It is usually characterized by accessory scrotum with adequate scrotum in the anatomically normal position. We describe a case of inguinal ectopia of the right hemiscrotum containing the right testis, and its staged surgical management by rotation flap scrotoplasty and subsequent orchidopexy.

We report a case of 35-year-old male patient who presented with painful right side of scrotum and worm pouting out of the scrotum. The patient had undergone surgery for strangulated right inguinal hernia 2 years back. On exploration we found multiple adult Ascaris worms in the scrotum with right-sided hydrocele. All the worms were removed and eversion of sac was done.

A 46-year-old man who underwent a vasectomy at his general practitioner presented to the emergency department at a regional hospital with a 6 h history of scrotal swelling and skin discolouration. He was haemodynamically stable on admission, with a large, dark red swelling in his scrotum. The patient was admitted to an acute surgical unit for exploration of his scrotum. Bilateral transverse inc...

Lymphatic malformation/lymphangioma of the scrotum is rare. It is caused by lymphatic abnormalities and the most common sites are the neck and axilla. The scrotum is one of the most uncommon sites. We report the case of a 12-year-old boy with pathologically confirmed cystic lymphangioma/lymphatic malformation in the scrotum. The diagnosis was suspected from ultrasonography and magnetic resonanc...

Leiomyoma may originate at any anatomic location of smooth muscle in the genitourinary system. The kidney capsule is the most common site for the genitourinary leiomyomas. Leiomyoma origination from the scrotum is rare. The previous reported cases presented as small, firm, nontender, slowly enlarging freely movable masses within the scrotum. We report a case of leiomyoma of the tunica dartos, a...

OBJECTIVE The differential diagnosis of an acute scrotum is of great importance in clinical practice and may be difficult in some cases. The aim of this study was to differentiate inflammatory from non-inflammatory causes of acute scrotum using relatively simple laboratory tests which can be performed quickly and easily outside a hospital setting. PATIENTS AND METHODS From 2007 to 2010, 85 bo...

Schwannoma, which may occur in any region of the body, is very rare in the scrotum. Schwannomas are tumors that originate from Schwann cells and, theoretically, could affect any nerve. In spite of the rich innervation of the genital area, these kinds of tumors are not common in the scrotum. A 67-year-old man visited our hospital for investigation of a 2-year episode of multiple slowly growing m...
