AI Article Synopsis
- - A 5-month-old boy had a swelling in his right scrotum, which turned out not to be typical epididymitis based on imaging results.
- - A Color Doppler ultrasound revealed a specific type of lesion in the epididymis that warranted further investigation through surgery.
- - The procedure involved aspirating pus from the affected area, marking it as the first successful case of diagnosing and treating an epididymal abscess in an infant using this method.
Article Abstract
A 5-month-old boy presented with right scrotal swelling. Color Doppler ultrasonography showed an encapsulated hypoechoic lesion with surrounding hyperemia in the right tail of the epididymis. We performed surgical exploration of the scrotum because it was not considered to be a typical epididymitis. During the operation, we aspirated pus from his right epididymis through a needle by referring to the color Doppler findings. This is the first case of epididymal abscess in an infant to be successfully diagnosed and treated with needle aspiration.

Genital lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a condition that can present both acutely and chronically, complicating its diagnosis due to nonspecific symptoms. This case report describes an 11-year-old boy who presented with symptoms of acute scrotum. Initial Doppler ultrasound suggested acute epididymo-orchitis; however, despite conservative management, the symptoms persisted, prompting surgical exploration.

Deep or aggressive angiomyxoma is an uncommon neoplasm of the pelvis. Although deep angiomyxoma is a benign tumor, its tendency to infiltrate soft tissues and reach a large size (typically > 10 cm) indicates aggressive biological behavior. It is usually present in female patients, but there have been recent reports of male-aggressive angiomyxoma.

Background: Wrinkles and sagging, characteristics of aging, are associated with reductions in collagen and fat. Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is widely used clinically as a tissue filler owing to its good biocompatibility and ability to improve wrinkles and signs of aging. Despite extensive studies of the mechanism of action of PLLA when used as a dermal filler, few studies have examined its effects on adipose tissue.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of serum human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) as a non-invasive biomarker for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis in children with chronic liver diseases (CLD). This case-control study was conducted at Benha University Hospital, Egypt, involving 60 children with CLD and 60 healthy children as a control group. HE4 levels were measured by ELISA and compared with liver biopsy results.
