Scrotal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare condition that typically manifests in the sixth decade of life and usually presents as a painless, solitary nodule that slowly increases in size, ulcerates, and gets infected. The diagnosis is often delayed, as the majority of patients tend to avoid seeking medical help due to embarrassment. We present a 62-year-old male with a massive 8 cm ulcerating painless tumor in the scrotum. A patient underwent scrotal extirpation with bilateral orchofuniculectomy and diagnostic bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy. Histopathology revealed a well-differentiated SCC of the scrotal skin. Ignorance, lack of self-awareness, knowledge about risk factors and aggravated access to healthcare facilities remain important reasons for late diagnosis.
