Sclerosing lipogranuloma is a rare, benign disease that can affect several organs, particularly of genitourinary system in males. The majority of the cases are secondary to exogenous foreign bodies. The masses are composed of granulomatous tissue formed around an either exogenous or endogenous lipomatous substance. We describe a 47-year-old male patient who presented with a growing, painless sc...

Scrotal leiomyomas with atypical bizarre nuclei are rare, which might be misdiagnosed as malignant tumor. We describe a case of scrotal bizarre leiomyoma in a 65-yr-old man. The tumor was a 1 cm-sized, well circumscribed, oval mass arising from the tunica dartos muscle. Histologically, it was formed by whorling bundles of fusiform cells with occasional atypical, pleomorphic nuclei and pseudo-in...

Sclerosing lipogranuloma (SLG) of the male external genitalia is a rare benign condition presenting as subcutaneous masses. The underlying pathological process is a granulomatous reaction of fatty tissue in this area. The cause of this is unclear but hypothesis stems around the pathogenesis of exogenous lipid degeneration from injection of foreign bodies such as paraffin for penile augmentation...

Lymphatic filariasis (LF) or elephantiasis is a major public health problem not only due to morbid condition but also due to social stigma, sexual incapacitation and considerable economic loss. National Health Policy 2002, aims at elimination of transmission and the prevention of disability due to LF by the year 2015, through mass drug administration (MDA) programme with annual single dose of d...

Background and Aim: Neurofibromatosis-1(NF-1) is a common genetic condition in children. It is becoming increasingly recognized that in neurofibromatosis, there might be anomalous development of bone with or without any local anomaly of neuro-ectodermal basis. This review was conducted to highlight the different features of spinal disorders in this congenital disease. Methods and Materials: Di...

this case is a rare aspect of left inguinal hernia. the patient was a 60-years old man with left scrotal mass since childhood. in the operating room, the hernia sac was opened which included cecum and appendix that is called left amyand`s hernia. the patient underwent herniorrhaphy with lichtenstein repair.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 is characterized by cutaneous neurofibromas and pigmented lesions of the skin called café au lait spots. Although neurofibromatosis type 1 represents a major risk factor for the development of malignancy, especially of nervous system tumors, malignant lymphoma rarely occurs in a patients with neurofibromatosis type 1. Recently, a 77-year-old woman with neurofibromatosis...

Granulomatous Orchitis secondary to lymphatic filiarisis is a rare diagnosis within the United States. We report a case of a 22yo Male from Sri Lanka, with a new onset scrotal swelling and palpable right testicular mass. Ultrasound identified a 1 cm right testicular mass with signs of tunica albuginea invasion. A right inguinal radical orchiectomy was performed and pathology showed Filarial orc...

Splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital anomaly in which there is fusion between the spleen and gonad, epididymis or vas. We treated a patient with scrotal mass. A discontinuous fusion between the spleen and epididymis was found: after frozen section mass was excised sparing testis. Although rare, the splenogonadal fusion should be considered in the differential diagnosis of scrotal masses in...
