AI Article Synopsis
- - A 47-year-old man presented at the hospital with a mass in the right scrotum, but initial lab tests showed no significant issues.
- - An ultrasound revealed a low echoic lesion measuring 2.5 x 1.3 x 0.7 cm, leading to the diagnosis of a right spermatic cord tumor.
- - After surgically removing the right testicle, microscopic examination showed a granulomatous lesion with Langhans giant cells, and a positive Tuberculin skin test confirmed that the patient had tuberculosis in the spermatic cord.
Article Abstract
A 47-year-old man visited our hospital with a complaint of a right intrascrotal mass. The results of a laboratory examination were unremarkable. An ultrasonographic examination of the right scrotum demonstrated a low echoic legion, 2.5 x 1.3 x 0.7 cm in diameter. A right spermatic cord tumor was diagnosed. Right high orchiectomy was performed. Microscopic examination showed a granulomatous lesion with Langhans large cells. Tuberculin skin test was strongly positive. From these findings we diagnosed the patient with tuberculosis in the spermatic cord.

Aims: Extragonadal yolk sac tumour (YST) is rare, and may present a diagnostic challenge. YST differentiation was recently reported in some somatically derived tumours in the sinonasal location and in the female genital tract, together with a SMARCB1/INI1 loss. We report two paratesticular/inguinal tumours with striking morphological and immunohistochemical similarities with YST, further expanding the spectrum of extragonadal tumours with YST-like morphology and SMARCB1/INI1 loss.

The reliable engraftment of skin grafts into areas with complex shapes can be challenging. Here, we report a case of successful fixation of a genital skin graft using negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) with RENASYS Cotton Filler. A 44-year-old male with no relevant medical history underwent split-thickness skin grafting for a genital skin defect caused by Fournier's gangrene.

Background: Testicular torsion-detorsion damage is a common ischemia-reperfusion injury brought on by an excess of reactive oxygen species. Reactive oxygen species may affect cellular differentiation by regulating gene expression. The gene expression in the testis is essential for spermatogenesis.

Undescended testis and testicular torsion represent two frequent andrological diseases that affect the pediatric age. Despite these testicular disorders having different causes, they both negatively influence fertility in adulthood mainly due to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which represents the primary molecular damage underlying their long-term effects. The gold standard of treatment for both pathologies is surgery; however, it cannot guarantee an optimal fertility outcome in all clinical cases, underscoring the need to identify effective adjuvant therapies that may target the augmented ROS levels.

Spermatic cord sarcomas (SCS) are a group of mesenchymal tumors whose rarity and anatomical location often lead to clinical misdiagnosis such as inguinal hernia, testicular tumor, or other conditions. Any inguinoscrotal mass with suspicious characteristics should prompt clinicians to perform imaging assessments (such as ultrasound or, in uncertain cases, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)) and refer the patient promptly to a specialized center. Histological characterization of all suspicious masses via percutaneous biopsy is recommended, with staging completed through computed tomography (CT) scan for confirmed cases.
