Scrotal leiomyomas with atypical bizarre nuclei are rare, which might be misdiagnosed as malignant tumor. We describe a case of scrotal bizarre leiomyoma in a 65-yr-old man. The tumor was a 1 cm-sized, well circumscribed, oval mass arising from the tunica dartos muscle. Histologically, it was formed by whorling bundles of fusiform cells with occasional atypical, pleomorphic nuclei and pseudoinclusions. Mitosis was not found. Although morphologically atypical, scrotal bizarre leiomyomas take on a biologic behavior not different from that of conventional leiomyoma, they should be distinguished from leiomyosarcoma to avoid unnecessary treatment.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical presentation pathologic characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of cystadenoma of the seminal vesicle.

METHODSOne case of cystadenoma of the seminal vesicle was analyzed and relevant literature reviewed.

RESULTThe patient underwent surgical removal of the right seminal vesicle along with the tumor, which was pathologically confirmed to be cystadenoma of the seminal vesicle. Ultrasonography and CT scanning revealed no recurrence 3 months later.

CONCLUSIONCystadenoma of the seminal vesicle is extremely rare and easily missed in diagnosis. Routine digital rectal examination (DRE) is necessary and ultrasonography and CT scan are helpful to diagnosis. Seminal vesiculectomy with tumor removal is an ideal option with good prognosis.

OBJECTIVETo study the diagnosis and treatment of Müllerian duct cysts and their involvement with malignancy.

METHODSA 44-year-old male patient with papillary cystadenocarcinoma involving a Müllerian duct cyst was presented. The presentation treatment, and pathological and radiological appearances were retrospectively analysed and discussed with literature review. The main manifestation was intermittent episode of hemospermia accompanying terminal hematuria and infertility for 15 years. Final diagnosis was determined by the findings of transrectal ultrasound scan, CT scan, MRI imaging, cystoscopic examination and biopsy.

RESULTSExploratory laparotomy was performed through a suprapubic retrovesical approach. The finding that a duct-like wedge of tumor tissue passed through the prostate near cyst neck to the posterior urethra without affecting the adjacent prostatic tissue during tylectomy confirmed that it arises from Müllerian duct system. Pathohistologic examination disclosed a papillary cystadenocarcinoma and it infiltrated the wall of the cyst. Both seminal vesicles and ejaculatory duct had no carcinoma invasion.

CONCLUSIONMüllerian duct cyst involving with malignancy is exceedingly rare, the diagnosis is based on the findings of transrectal ultrasound scan, CT scan, MRI imaging, cystoscopic examination. The final diagnosis depends on the pathohistologic examination. Lumpectomy is effective and have a good outcome.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical and pathological features, diagnosis and treatment of cystic lymphangioma of the spermatic cord.

METHODSOne case of cystic lymphangioma of the spermatic cord in a 71-year-old patient was retrospectively analyzed and the relevant literature was reviewed.

RESULTSThe patient, presented with spermatic cord hydrocele, was treated by local excision of the tumor, which was pathologically diagnosed as cystic lymphangioma. No relapse was found during a 3-month follow-up after the operation.

CONCLUSIONLymphangioma of the spermatic cord is a benign tumor. Preoperation ultrasonography and CT are important for determining the location and nature of lymphangioma. Surgical excision is an effective option for the treatment of cystic lymphangioma of the spermatic cord.

OBJECTIVETo explore the diagnosis and treatment of primary epididymal tumor.

METHODSWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 35 cases of pathologically confirmed primary epididymal tumor. Of the total number of patients, 10 underwent tumor excision, 23 received epididymectomy, 1 was treated by simple orchidoepididymectomy, and by radical orchidoepididymectomy with second-stage retroperitoneal lymph node dissection.

RESULTSPostoperative pathology confirmed 33 cases of benign tumor (including 21 adenomatoid tumor, 7 leiomyoma, 4 fibroma, and 1 papillary cystadenoma), and 2 cases of malignancy (1 malignant fibrous histiocytoma and 1 adenocarcinoma). The follow-up lasted 10 months to 6 years, which revealed no recurrence, metastasis and death.

CONCLUSIONPrimary epididymal tumor is difficult to be definitely diagnosed preoperatively. Surgical exploration is the first choice for those highly suspected of the disease. Tumor excision or epididymectomy can be considered for benign cases, while radical orchidoepididymectomy with retroperitoneal lymph node dissection is recommended in case of malignancy.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the causes, therapeutic methods and prognosis of recurrent extramammary Paget's disease of the penis and scrotum.

METHODSWe retrospectively studied the clinical presentations, therapeutic methods and prognosis of 18 cases of recurrent penile and scrotal Paget's disease, all diagnosed by biopsy and treated by surgical resection of the diseased sites. The incision reached the deep fascia. Frozen and olefin sections of the samples were pathologically examined to identify the involvement of the incisal edge. Seven cases had inguinal lymph node metastasis and underwent unilateral or bilateral inguinal lymph node resection.

RESULTSAll the patients were followed up for 6 months to 8 years (mean 34 months). Four died of distant metastasis and the other 14 experienced no recurrence.

CONCLUSIONFor the cases without metastasis of recurrent penile and scrotal Paget's disease, extended lesion-resection is a preferred option and the prognosis is good. And those with local lymph node metastasis need to undergo local lymph node resection.
