Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is an adenocarcinoma arising from the skin or skin appendages which is sometimes associated with an underlying malignancy. EMPD is most commonly seen in the vulva, followed by perianal region, and the male genitalia. In most cases, patient presents with eczematous lesion persisting for long duration. A 77-year-old gentleman had a history of chronic eczematous lesion over penis and scrotum for the last 10 years. Examination revealed an erythematous plaque like eczematous lesion over the penis and scrotum. Biopsy with IHC of lesion is suggestive of EMPD. Wide local excision of lesion and left inguinal lymph node dissection with pedicled left superficial circumflex iliac perforator flap cover was done. The final histopathology with IHC confirmed the diagnosis of EMPD. The postoperative period was uneventful, and patient was discharged. EMPD of the penis and scrotum is a rare presentation, and it is ideally treated with wide excision.

A rare case of Fournier's gangrene (FG) secondary to varicella-zoster virus (VZV) affecting the penis and scrotum of a 7-year-old boy is presented. To the authors' knowledge, there are four cases of FG in children as a result of VZV reported to date. Our patient underwent a total of four surgical debridements and was reconstructed using a split-thickness skin graft (SSG).

BACKGROUND Perineal injuries affecting the scrotum and penis are rare in pediatric patients, owing to the protective anatomy of the male genitalia. However, when such injuries do occur, timely surgical intervention is crucial. This kind of damage might not be life-threatening but could cause functional disorders and have a huge impact on the patients' psychological condition if not treated appropriately, especially as they enter puberty.

Secondary sexual characteristics, and the extent to which they are expressed, can convey information about the signaller. The blue scrotum and red penis of male vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) make them a good species in which to examine inter- and intramale variation in signal expression. We quantified genital hue and luminance of male vervets at Lake Nabugabo, Uganda from standardized photos of male genitalia taken in May to June 2016, January to March 2019, and April to June 2019 to examine how dominance rank, fecal androgens (fARMs), fecal glucocorticoids (fGCMs), and parasitism related to achromatic (i.

Background: In proximal hypospadias, ventral curvature is invariable and most have penoscrotal transposition, and we observed that the base of the penis (BOP) was located on the inferior aspect of the pubic bones in those, in contrast to the location of the BOP at the anterior end in normal penises. We also observed an unfused bulbospongiosus muscle (BSM) at surgery in those. The aim was to assess the impact of repairing the unfused BSM or transection and straightening of the urethral plate at the first operation on the low BOP.

Objective: To determine the complication rate of canine scrotal urethrostomy (SU) performed with poliglecaprone 25 and identify risk factors for complications.
Animals: We studied 67 dogs treated with SU.
Procedure: Medical records of dogs that underwent SU between 2011 and 2023 at Garden State Veterinary Specialists and its satellite hospitals were reviewed.
