We report a rare case of a patient presenting with scrotal hematoma associated with retroperitoneal hemorrhage after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). We propose a mechanism for the formation of scrotal hematoma and its importance as a sign of retroperitoneal hemorrhage.

Giant inguinal herniae pose a surgical challenge, though not uncommon in the developing world they are a rare presentation in the UK. We present a patient with cardiac disease who presented with a giant inguino-scrotal hernia complicated by a bleeding scrotal ulcer. We describe his medical management and the surgical repair of the hernia and refashioning of his scrotum.

in a prospective clinical trial, the incidence of scrotal tongue in psoriatic patients was studied. one hundred psoriatics and the same number of non-psoriatic individuals were evaluated for the incidence of fissured tongue, age, duration of illness, and clinical types of psoriasis. in this study 49 psoriatic patients (49%) and 28 non-psoriatic persons (28%) had fissured tongue. the most common...

Four patients with scrotal ulceration were seen during a period of 9 months. All of them were HIV-positive homosexual men with coexisting skin conditions. Herpes simplex virus was not isolated from any of the ulcers, but a variety of bacteria was recovered. It is suggested that multiple factors peculiar to HIV-positive individuals may account for the development of such ulcers.

Reproductive and growth data were obtained on 779 and 564 yearling beef heifers and bulls, respectively, that had sires with yearling scrotal circumference data at the San Juan Basin Research Center, Hesperus, CO. Partial regression coefficients of reproductive and growth traits on inbreeding (FXC) and age of the individual and adjusted scrotal circumference of sire (SCSI) were obtained. Growth...

Scrotal and inguinal masses are common patient complaints that prove diagnostically challenging due to the multiple anatomic structures found in the confined space of the scrotum. History and adequate examination is the cornerstone in diagnosing scrotal pathology. Ultrasonography is the principle radiologic study used to evaluate scrotal masses. This can locate the site of a mass, and different...

PURPOSE Bianchi and Squire first described scrotal incision orchiopexy as an alternative to the traditional inguinal approach in the 1980s. The goal of this study was to review our series of scrotal orchiopexies to evaluate operative times, success rates and complications in patients with and without a patent processus vaginalis. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 121 scrotal incision orchiopex...

Data from 129,575 Nellore cattle born between 1993 and 2006, belonging to the Jacarezinho cattle-raising farm, were used to estimate genetic parameters for scrotal circumference measured at 9 (SC9), 12 (SC12), and 18 (SC18) mo of age and testicular volume measured at the same ages (TV9, TV12, and TV18) and to determine their correlation with weaning weight (WW) and yearling weight (YW), to prov...

BACKGROUND Acute scrotal edema is an infrequent complication in patients who undergo continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), occurring in 2% to 4% of patients. Inguinal hernia is usually the cause, but the diagnosis is sometimes confusing. Imaging modalities such as computed tomographic peritoneography are helpful but can be equivocal. We have used diagnostic laparoscopy in conjunctio...
