Scrotal Tumor

Introduction. Paratesticular tumors are rarely observed among scrotal neoplasm. Various types of benign lesions are described. Cavernous hemangioma belongs to uncommon epididymal benign tumors. Clinical and sonographic features are not conclusive and diagnosis requires histological confirmation. Case Presentation. Authors report a case of an epididymal hemangioma in a 56-year-old patient, consulting for a painful scrotal swelling. As malignancy was suspected, he underwent inguinal orchiectomy. Histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of cavernous epididymal hemangioma. Clinical and therapeutic aspects of this rare entity are discussed. Conclusion. Epididymis is an infrequent location of cavernous hemangioma. Diagnosis is rarely made preoperatively as symptoms and radiological aspects are not specific. Conservative surgery must be attempted once feasible for aesthetic and functional purposes.

Primary lymphangiomas or lymphangiomatous polyps of the palatine tonsil are rare benign lesions that are described infrequently in the literature. The majority of the published cases concern adults. We report a case of a lymphangiomatous lesion of the right palatine tonsil of a 9-year-old boy. Our clinical suspicion was confirmed by the histological examination after tonsillectomy and the diagnosis of primary lymphangioma of the tonsil was made. In this case we discuss the clinical and histopathological features of this lesion and present a short review of the current literature.

Background: A lipoma is one of the commonest benign tumors in surgical practice. Lipomas are usually found on the trunk and limbs but less commonly within the abdomen, where they occur frequently in the mesentery as well as the subserosa and submucous layer of the gastrointestinal tract. Pre-peritoneal lipomas are rare. Case Presentation: A 44-year-old woman presented with a painless and progressive right-sided abdominal swelling of 5 months duration. Examination revealed a 16cm x 14cm slightly mobile and non-tender firm-to-hard hour-glass-shaped mass extending from the right hypochondrial to right iliac and the suprapubic regions. Abdominal ultrasonography showed a 5cm x 6cm bowel thickening in the right iliac fossa suggestive of an ileocecal mass while a computerized tomography showed a 20.8cm x 6.3cm x 20.1cm hypodense mass within the peritoneal cavity, extending from the epigastric region to the pelvis, anterior to the bowel loops and more to the right. At laparotomy, a huge, well encapsulated yellowish mass in the pre-peritoneal space, weighing 1,520g was excised. Histology confirmed a lipoma. Conclusion: A preperitoneal lipoma is an uncommon soft tissue tumor and the giant ones are extremely rare. Although a rare cause of a painless abdominal swelling, pre-peritoneal lipoma should be considered as a differential diagnosis in patients presenting with an unremarkable feature suggestive of an intra-abdominal pathology.

Within the last few years, adrenal cortical tumors with features concordant with the diagnostic criteria attributed to oncocytomas have been reported. To date, only nine reported cases exist in the literature. This report is the tenth case presentation of a presumptively benign neoplasm of the adrenal gland with a rare differentiation. Oncocytomas are well recognized benign tumors of the thyroid, parathyroid, and salivary glands and of the kidney. Other organs also give rise to these types of tumors, however with less frequency than the former sites. The characteristics generally used to classify a tumor as an oncocytoma include the following criteria: the tumor is 1) usually a solitary circumscribed mass with no gross nor microscopic evidence of metastasis (no tissue nor vascular invasion), 2) fairly bland in terms of mitotic activity and nuclear morphology, and 3) composed of large eosinophillic cells in which the cytoplasm is packed full of mitochondria (Figure 1).

Abstract Background Primary Seminal Vesicle (SV) tumours are a rare entity, with most SV masses representing invasion of the SV by malignancy originating in an adjacent organ, most often the prostate. Previously reported primary SV epithelial tumours have included adenocarcinoma and cystadenoma, with limited prior reports of inracystic papillary structures. Case presentation A 35-year-old male presented with azoospermia, intermittent macroscopic haematuria, and mild right iliac fossa and groin pain. A papillary appearing seminal vesicle mass was found on imaging and seminal vesicoscopy. The mass was robotically excised with diagnosis of benign cystic papillary adenoma made. Conclusion In this manuscript we describe a rare case of a benign cystic papillary adenoma of the seminal vesicle, a unique histological entity differentiated from cystadenoma of the Seminal Vesicle by its papillary component.

Abstract Background Scrotoschisis is a rare anomaly in which the testis is lying outside scrotum congenitally. Only few cases have been reported in literature under different names most of which are unilateral. We have found only one case of bilateral scrotoschisis in literature. Case presentation Newborn presented to us after normal term twin delivery as a case of bilateral scrotoschisis in which both testes were lying outside the scrotum congenitally. Baby underwent uneventful bilateral orchiopexy and was discharged home the next day. Conclusion Scrotoschisis is a very rare genital anomaly with only a few cases reported in literature. This report would add to the literature which would help in studying the exact mechanism and embryopathogenesis of this anomaly which is not known yet.

Introduction: Testicular benign tumors are very rare (< 5%). Testicular Angiofibroma (AF) is one of those, however the gold standard of treatment and follow-up is still unclear. Case report: A 47 years-old man with only one functioning testis was referred to our clinic for a palpable right testicular mass and atrophic contralateral testis. Patient underwent testis-sparing surgery with inguinal approach and intraoperative frozen sections examination with diagnosis of AF. Final histology confirmed AF. Post-operative follow-up was uneventful. Clinical and ultrasonographic follow-up was negative after 8 months. Conclusion: We report a conservative surgery in a patient with AF of the solitary testis. AF is a benign para-testicular fibrous neoplasm that could be misinterpreted as malignant tumor and treated with orchiectomy. Testis-sparing surgery is recommended in this case with intraoperative pathological examination. The excision of the mass is enough but in front of a possible recurrence a long follow-up is advisable.

AbstractSchwannomas are benign tumors, which arise from the Schwann cells of the central or peripheral nerves. They form 8% of all intracranial tumors and most of the cases arise from vestibular division of the 8th cranial nerve. Rare cases are shown to arise from the olfactory or optic nerve, being devoid of myelin sheath. Up to date and according to our best of knowledge, 66 cases have been reported till now. Here we present a review of the literature and a case report of a 56-year-old male with an accidently discovered anterior cranial fossa schwannoma, following a road traffic accident. Tumor was completely excised, using a right frontal approach. Histopathology revealed Antoni-A cellular pattern. Although rare, but olfactory nerve schwannomas should be included in the differential diagnosis in anterior cranial fossa space occupying lesions, and the approach should be designed taking into consideration, this rare entity.

Abstract Introduction: Thymic cavernous hemangioma, a rare mediastinal tumor, is difficult to diagnose by imaging examinations. Case presentation: We treated a 63-year-old woman with thymic cavernous hemangioma. She was found to have an anterior mediastinal mass during a routine examination, and enhanced chest CT showed that it was approximately 3.5×2.4×2.1 cm in size. Enhanced abdominal CT indicated a 2.5cm space-occupying lesion in the right kidney. We considered it to be thymoma and renal carcinoma, so we resected it by using thoracoscope and laparoscope. The postoperative pathological reports showed that the mass was thymic cavernous hemangioma and renal clear cell carcinoma. Twenty months postsurgery, the patient was alive with no evidence of tumor recurrence.Conclusions: We report a rare case of thymic cavernous hemangioma misdiagnosed as thymoma. It is difficult to obtain pathological results by needle biopsy before surgery because the location of the anterior mediastinal mass is very challenging to reach. Therefore, a thorough CT evaluation before the operation can prevent inappropriate operations from being performed.
