1 of 2 DESCRIPTION A 38-year-old male presented to the emergency department with acute onset of scrotal pain. The pain was excruciating. A prior scrotal ultrasound was consistent with polyorchidism ( fi gures 1 and 2 ). Clinical examination revealed a markedly distressed tearful man. Scrotal inspection showed three distinct scrotal masses, all of equivalent size, consistent with testes ( fi gur...

BACKGROUND Acute scrotal pain is a common urological emergency. Urgent exploration is the standard means of management, as no investigation can confidently exclude torsion of testis from the differential diagnoses. In our department, all patients up to the age of 40 years, presenting with acute scrotal pain undergo emergency scrotal exploration. AIM This study assesses the outcome of such a p...

Penetrating scrotal trauma is an uncommon injury that is often secondary to civilian or combat violence. Much of the literature on the topic is from case reports, small retrospective series from civilian trauma centers, and reports from combat zones. In this manuscript, a case report involving self-inflicted penetrating scrotal trauma from our institution is presented. Following the case report...

38 Because acute scrotal pain, swelling, and/or inflammation are a potential surgical emergency, prompt and accurate diagnosis is crucial. The 3 most common etiologies of acute scrotal pain in the pediatric age group are epididymitis, torsion of the appendix testis, and testicular torsion. There are numerous other causes of scrotal pain, which include hernia, hydrocele, trauma, Henoch-Schonlein...

The paper presents a description of essential equipment requirements for scrotal ultrasonography, including current ultrasound techniques, as well as a review of the most common scrotal pathologies. Patient preparation for the examination as well as ultrasound methodology for the assessment of scrotal and inguinal canal structures are discussed. The standard for scrotal ultrasound examination i...

BACKGROUND Testicular temperature correlates highly with scrotal temperature. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the type of undertrousers on scrotal temperature during standardized periods of sitting and walking. METHODS Fifty volunteers without a history of infertility and normal andrological examination were included for scrotal temperature evaluation. Temperatures were...

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 ...

Fetal inguinal scrotal hernia is a rare condition resulting in an abnormal embryonic process of the tunica vaginalis. We report a case of ultrasound prenatal diagnosis of inguinal scrotal hernia associated with contralateral hydrocele in a woman at 37 weeks of gestation, referred to our clinic for a scrotal mass. Differential diagnosis includes hydrocele, teratoma, hemangiomas, solid tumours of...

Trauma, inflammation, or necrosis in the scrotal cavity may lead to depositing of organic material in hydrocele fluid with consecutive calcification if the fluid is oversaturated. During a period of 25 years, 2 scrotal calculi (calculous material in hydrocele fluid) in 2 of 42 patients (4.8%) were found during surgery on symptomatic hydroceles by the first author. In these symptomatic cases, in...
