The aim this study was to explain the underlying etiology of unknown scrotal masses.
This study included 3 patients with a intrascrotal mass. One patient was over 50 years. The remaining patients were between the ages of 30-50. Patients had no serious complaints (two complained about having 3 testicles and one complained of swelling in the scrotum for the last 6 months). All patients underwent scrotal exploration under general anesthesia and the specimen was sent for pathological examination. All masses were mobile and encapsulated. The masses were not associated with the testicle. Two cases had classical histologic features of epidermoid cyst and one had scrotal calcinosis in the pathological report. Physical examination, operation, magnetic resonance and histological images of scrotal masses were shown in the figures.
This study is important in terms of showing the underlying etiology of the rare scrotal masses.
本研究旨在解释不明原因的阴囊肿块的潜在病因。
本研究纳入了 3 名阴囊肿块患者。1 名患者年龄超过 50 岁，其余 2 名患者年龄在 30-50 岁之间。患者无明显不适（2 名患者诉有 3 个睾丸，1 名患者诉阴囊肿胀 6 个月）。所有患者均在全身麻醉下接受阴囊探查术，并将标本送检病理检查。所有肿块均可移动且有包膜。肿块与睾丸无关联。2 例具有表皮样囊肿的典型组织学特征，1 例病理报告显示阴囊钙化。图中展示了阴囊肿块的体格检查、手术、磁共振和组织学图像。
本研究对于展示罕见阴囊肿块的潜在病因具有重要意义。
