Lesions of the groin include hernia, hydrocele, spermatic cord cyst, undescended testes, lymphadenopathy, and abscess. Hydatid cysts are endemic in certain regions of the world. They are usually located in the liver, lung, spleen, brain, and kidney. Although many uncommon locations have been reported, hydatid disease has been reported 3 times in the spermatic cord. This is the first report of a...

Liposarcoma presenting as a paratesticular mass with spermatic cord involvement is rare and frequently misdiagnosed (Coleman et al., 2003). Investigation of spermatic cord liposarcoma has been difficult because of its rarity. The current standard therapeutic approach for spermatic cord tumor has been radical inguinal orchiectomy with wide local resection of surrounding soft tissues (Rodriguez e...

PURPOSE We identified structural abnormalities in the spermatic cord nerves that may explain how microsurgical denervation of the spermatic cord provides pain relief in patients with chronic orchialgia. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed a prospective database to compare spermatic cord biopsy specimens from 56 men treated with a total of 57 procedures for microsurgical denervat...

Most spermatic cord masses are benign, and malignant spermatic cord tumors are uncommon. Spermatic cord metastases originating from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have not been previously reported in the English language literature as determined by a PubMed search. We report a male patient who presented with a painful palpable mass in the right inguinal area. The patient was diagnosed with HCC ...

BACKGROUND Surgeons performing an ilioinguinal exposure for acetabular fracture surgery need to be aware of aberrant findings such as inguinal hernias and spermatic cord lesions. The purpose of this study is to report these occurrences in a clinical series of adult males undergoing acetabular fracture fixation and a series of adult male cadavers. The secondary aim is to characterize these abnor...

SUMMARY Occurance of Malignant Fihrous Histiocytoma (MFH) of the spermatic cord as a primary source is so rare that since I 967 Just 12 of such cases have heen reported (4,8, 10). MFH is one of the pleomorphic soft tissue Malignant tumors which has been studied for first time by Ozzello and Co workers on 1963. The Tumor ong1nates from primary Mesenchymal cells which have both histocytic & fi...

Liposarcoma in the spermatic cord is infrequent, and accurate diagnosis of histopathological subtype is often difficult in spite of the importance of differential diagnosis for adequate treatment. A 54-year-old man underwent left-sided high orchiectomy with inguinal lymphadenectomy for a spermatic cord tumor in July 2006. The initial histopathological report diagnosed leiomyosarcoma in the sper...

BACKGROUND Narrowing of the internal ring around the pulled through spermatic cord in cases of laparoscopic orchiopexy is the norm. AIM To carry out a prospective study to see if closure of the internal ring is really necessary, hypothesis being that mobilization of the impalpable testis leaves a raw surface, which, coupled with the presence of the spermatic cord results in effective closure ...

Spermatic cord is a rare metastatic site of colorectal cancer. We herein report a case of spermatic cord metastasis of a previous undiagnosed multifocal colon adenocarcinoma, which was clinically presented as a strangulated groin hernia.

congenital undescending testis is a common anomaly of testis, but we had a rare case of ectopic testis. a 15-month-old infant was operated emergently because of left incarcerate inguinal hernia. intraoperative exploration of hernial sac revealed two ectopic testes with one spermatic cord proximally but in the middle divided to two spermatic cords in a 8 shape. there was an important point about...
