A 34-year-old man who presented with right scrotal pain, and who on subsequent ultrasound examination, was found to have an intratesticular hypoechoic mass. Based on the ultrasound appearance of this mass, a malignant germ cell tumor was thought to be the most likely diagnosis. Preoperative serum tumor markers, including lactate dehydrogenase, alpha-1-fetoprotein, and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin, were negative. Computed tomography imaging of the chest, the abdomen, and the pelvis revealed no evidence of metastasis. The patient underwent right orchiectomy, and final pathology demonstrated a benign hemangioma.

Article Synopsis
- * Initially, the patient’s condition was misinterpreted as a malignant tumor due to imaging results showing increased size and pain in the right scrotum.
- * The case emphasizes the need for doctors to recognize KTS features to avoid misdiagnosis and ensure proper treatment when faced with scrotal symptoms that may resemble more common issues.
Article Synopsis
- * The diagnosis was confirmed using scrotal ultrasound and normal serum tumor markers, followed by a successful testis-sparing surgery to remove it.
- * Advances in diagnostic techniques allow for accurate identification and less invasive surgical options, crucial for preserving fertility in young patients with this condition.
Intravascular lobular capillary hemangioma (ILCH), also known as intravenous pyogenic granuloma, is a benign vascular lesion with a distinctive lobular arrangement of capillaries. It is typically confined to the head, neck, and upper extremities, and its occurrence in the testicular region is exceedingly rare. Here, we present a case of a 68-year-old male who was initially diagnosed with a testicular tumor based on imaging studies but was later found to have an ILCH located in the epididymis.

Differences of sex development (DSDs) are a heterogeneous group of congenital conditions in which chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical sex does not match. The broad spectrum of phenotypes associated with DSDs requires accurate diagnosis, which influences the care and quality of life of affected patients. The decreasing costs of next-generation sequencing (NGS) and international research collaborations in rare diseases have allowed the identification of new genes associated with DSDs.

- Hemiscrotal agenesis is a rare condition where one side of the scrotum is not developed, often treated surgically with techniques like orchiopexy or scrotoplasty, although there are very few documented cases (only eight).
- A case study of a 6-year-old boy showed increased temperature in the undeveloped side of the scrotum, but his parents opted against surgery, and ultrasound tests showed both testes were normal.
- The findings suggest that the higher temperature in hemiscrotal agenesis without cryptorchidism might not hinder testicular growth in young boys.
