Leiomyoma originating from the scrotum is a scarce entity. We report a case of scrotal leiomyoma which was unique to us. A 35 year-old man sought medical care for a painless scrotal lesion that had enlarged over a 3-year period and was causing him discomfort. His medical history was otherwise unremarkable: there was no history of trauma, inflammation, or infection, and no significant urologic a...

The aim of this particular study is to determine the efficacy of scrotal embedding technique in children with overly deficient penile shaft skin, which takes advantage of the rich vascular supply of the scrotal layers and provides adequate tissue coverage. We give the operative and clinical details of two consecutive cases for which we preferred scrotal embedding technique to replace deficient ...

Amyand's hernia is a rare form of inguinal hernia in which an inflamed appendix is incarcerated in a hernial sac. The clinical presentation of Amyand's hernia varies, depending on the extent of inflammation involved in the hernial sac and the presence or absence of a scrotal abscess. If a scrotal abscess is present, this usually indicates that the appendix in the hernial sac is perforated. Howe...

A 3-year-old Andalusian stallion was referred to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the University of Cordoba due to acute onset of colic pain. At admission, the horse presented a pronounced distension of the inguinal and scrotal region which was cold and painful on palpation. On rectal palpation no small intestine gas distention was noticed, and the left large colon was detected protruding in...

Testicular or scrotal involvement has been reported in children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP), but there are very few reports on penile involvement. We report the initial and follow-up ultrasonographic findings of scrotal and penile involvement of HSP in a 5-year-old boy. On ultrasonography, scrotal soft tissue thickening and epididymal swelling with increased vascularity were noted, and ...

A scrotal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare condition representing an abnormal connection between the arterial and venous systems of vessels supplying the scrotum. Scrotal AVMs are usually treated via transcatheter embolization, surgical extirpation, or a combination of the two approaches. A 41-year-old man developed a life-threatening hemorrhage from a scrotal AVM. After hemodynamic s...

The objective of this study was to determine the appropriate non-linear function describing growth of some testicular traits (testicular length, testicular diameter, scrotal circumference and scrotal length) in Norduz male lambs. Testicular characteristics at 90, 110, 130, 150, 170, and 190 days of age for all the lambs were measured. Four growth (Monomolecular, Logistic, Gompertz, and Richard’...

Tuberculous epididymo-orchitis is an uncommon disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis of the testis and epididymis. We reviewed 25 cases of tuberculous epididymo-orchitis, diagnosed at the Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University between July 2000 and June 2010. The mean age at diagnosis was 54.5 years (range: 30 to 91 years). Cultures from testicular and epididymal tis...

OBJECTIVE To conduct a systematic review on single scrotal incision orchiopexy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A search was performed using Pubmed, through which 16 articles were selected out of a total of 133. The following conditions were considered exclusion criteria: other surgical methods such as an inguinal procedure or a laparoscopic approach, retractile testes, or patients with previous testic...

Acquired scrotal giant muscular hamartoma is an uncommon benign lesion with fewer than 10 documented cases all over the world. It is characterized by a proliferation of dermal smooth muscle bundles of scrotum dartos fascia. The authors report a rare case of acquired scrotal giant muscular hamartoma, which occurred in a 70-year-old severely obese and diabetic man presenting with a progressive sc...
