AI Article Synopsis
- Accessory scrotum is a rare developmental anomaly involving extra scrotal tissue located behind a normal scrotum, without a testis present.
- An 18-month-old boy was observed with an accessory scrotum attached to a perineal lipoma, both of which were surgically removed.
- Histological analysis showed that the accessory scrotum tissue was similar to normal scrotal tissue, including the presence of androgen receptors, marking the first assessment of androgen receptor expression in this condition.
Article Abstract
Accessory scrotum is an unusual developmental anomaly defined as additional scrotal tissue in addition to a normally developed scrotum. The accessory scrotum arises posterior to the normally located scrotum and does not contain a testis. We report a case of an 18-month-old boy with an accessory scrotum attached to a perineal lipoma. We resected both and determined histologically that they were of the same tissue as the scrotum, including the presence of androgen receptor expression. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case to assess androgen receptor expression in an accessory scrotum using immunostaining.

Accessory scrotum is defined as extra scrotal tissue in the vicinity of the anatomically located normal scrotum. We report a case of 4-day full-term male neonate with a unilateral accessory scrotum. We have discussed clinical presentations and associated anomalies of an accessory scrotum thus guiding its evaluation and treatment.

Background: Accessory scrotum is a congenital scrotal anomaly that is usually located anterior to the anus and frequently presents with a lipoma in a bead-like shape. Herein, we present an unusual case of an accessory scrotum with a lipoma connected by a narrow stalk and located posterior to the anus.
Case Presentation: A 1-month-old boy was referred to our hospital for a perineal mass present at birth.

Article Synopsis
- Cutaneous mixed tumour (CMT), also known as chondroid syringoma, is a rare benign skin tumor with less than 0.01% incidence among primary skin tumors, primarily affecting males.
- The case study presents a 50-year-old male with a 10-year history of a painless mass in the upper scrotum, which was surgically excised and confirmed to be CMT upon microscopic examination.
- The report discusses the diagnostic difficulties of scrotal CMT and emphasizes the terminology used in the latest WHO Classification of Skin Tumours (2023).

Background: Accessory splenic tissue is a commonly encountered phenomenon in medical literature. Typically, these accessory spleens are found in close proximity to the main spleen, either in the hilum or within the surrounding ligaments. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that they can also be located in unusual sites such as the jejunum wall, mesentery, pelvis, and, exceptionally rarely, the scrotum.

Splenogonadal fusion (SGF) is a rare congenital anomaly of an aberrant accessory spleen-gonad connection. We present a rare case of continuous splenogonadal fusion in a full-term male with a left undescended testis, multiple congenital limb anomalies, and syndromic facies. Diagnostic laparoscopy revealed the "Echidna Splenule," a snake-like intraperitoneal splenule coursing from the spleen along the left paracolic region and engulfing an atrophic intra-abdominal testis preventing spontaneous descent and distally herniating into the left open internal inguinal ring.
