We reported a rare case of intrascrotal lymphangioma in an adult. A 31-year-old man visited a urological clinic with a chief complaint of left scrotal swelling since a few days ago, and was pointed out to have a left intrascrotal cystic mass. The patient was sent to our hospital for further examination in 23 April 2008. The left scrotal mass was palpated elastic hard below the left testis and its surface was irregular. Light transillumination test showed positive. Ultrasonography revealed a cystic mass 7.0 x 4.4 x 4.5 cm with multiseptate accumulation at the lower pole of the left testis. Magnetic resonance imaging showed low intensity by T1WI and high intensity by T2WI, suggesting a protein-rich component. We suspected left intrascrotal lymphangioma and extirpated the scrotal mass under lumbar anesthesia. Pathological examination demonstrated lymphangioma. The patient had no evidence of recurrence after 1 year.

The intrascrotal localization of lymphangioma in children is uncommon, especially when the lymphangioma does not depend on testicular structures. We present the case of a 13-year-old male who started with a right intrascrotal mass unconnected with the testicle, clinically and ultrasonically compatible with cystic lymphangioma. The mass was excised because of progressive growth over the previous 5 months, and at surgery a scrotal lymphangioma was disclosed projecting towards the umbilical area through the subcutaneous cell tissue of the anterior abdominal wall.

Congenital lymphatic disease with scrotal location is particularly uncommon in adults and, in general, requires an exhausting differential diagnosis of testicular and paratesticular masses; among them, the lymphangioma is exceptional. Diagnosis is based on signs and symptoms, evolution and radiological studies such as ultrasound and computerised tomography as well as characteristic findings in the anatomopathologic study such as cystic dilation with endothelial walls and lymph content with no signs of malignancy. Treatment is usually surgical.
