Neurofibromatosis is a well-documented entity, having been first recorded by von Reck-linghausen (I882). When involvement of the orbit and eyelid occurs in this disease, the presentation may be manifold. Blepharoptosis commonly occurs and may be variable in degree. Where elephantiasis neuromatosa occurs in association with this, the drooping eyelid characteristically has the sensation of a bag ...

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 ...

Angiomyolipoma (AML) is a benign, histologically complex mesenchymal tumor arising mainly from the kidney and liver. The majority (80%) of these tumors arise as sporadic tumors, while 20% of them are associated with tuberous sclerosis. Extra-renal sites of AML, though rare, have been reported in literature. In this report, we describe a case of AML arising from the scrotal skin, and presenting ...

We report a case of scrotal paratesticular fibrous pseudotumor found to be originated from tunica albuginea in a 30year old male patient presenting as a painful palpable mass in the left hemiscrotum. Pre-operative scrotal ultrasonographic evaluation revealed a solid hypoechoic mass, measuring 2.86 cm x 2.81cm, presenting with areas of internal calcification underneath the inferior pole of testi...

Metastases to the scrotal wall are very rare, and being the initial manifestation of occult primary tumours is even rarer. We report on a patient presenting with painless scrotal swelling, attributed to a solid extra-testicular mass found on ultrasonography. Subsequent investigations and surgical exploration revealed it to be a scrotal wall metastasis from an occult gastric primary. To our know...

Lymphatic filariasis is endemic in some 72 countries throughout the tropics (see map), and an estimated 1.39 billion people live in areas of risk.1 An estimated 40 million people have stigmatizing and d...

Pulsatile scrotal masses are extremely rare. We report the first case of pulsatile and painful scrotal mass that had an arterial collateral circulation, equivalent to an arterioarterial shunt, feeding an excluded internal iliac artery aneurysm after aortobifemoral bypass surgery.

or six months, or rather since she became pregnant. Had never suffered from syphilis or gonorrhoea. The catamenia had been pretty regular up to the time of her becoming pregnant; had never had any child. The tumour was an irregularly-shaped tuberculated mass, Hi inches in length, attached to the left labium majus by a pedicle about 2 inches thick. Its transverse circumference) taken at the poin...
