Localized fibrous tumor of the scrotum is a very rare disease, and few radiologic features have been reported. We report the sonographic and CT findings of a case of localized fibrous tumor, which developed in the scrotum of a thirty-years-old man.

The decision between continued medical therapy and surgical exploration in patients with traumatized scrotum is difficult. We evaluated scrotal ultrasound as a non-invasive aid in such problematic cases. During s 42 months period. 17 patients were hospitalized for treatment of traumatized scrotum. All of them underwent careful physical examination and scrotal ultrasound. The results were as follows.; 1. In the appropriate clinical setting. ultrasound provides objective information supporting the need for surgical intervention in patients with traumatized scrotum and prevents unnecessary operation. 2. The results of treatment in 12 cases of 13 cases who underwent conservative treatment were good. 3. Scrotal ultrasound is necessary as soon as possible in traumatized scrotum and testicular salvage rates are improved markedly when early surgical correction of a ruptured tunica albuginea is performed. 4. Ultrasound is noninvasive and effective single diagnostic method in scrotal injury.

A retrospective study was undertaken to assess the importance of ultrasonography in the 22 patients with traumatized scrotum who were explored surgically. Ultrasonography was highly accurate, readily available, noninvasive diagnostic method. Also ultrasonography was valuable in the evaluation of the degree of injury and determination of early therapeutic modality. We believe that ultrasonography is the method of choice in the initial evaluation of traumatized scrotum.

Ectopic scrotum is extremely rare and refers to the anomalous position of one hemiscrotum along the inguinal canal. Only two cases of ectopic scrotum have been reported in Korea. We experienced a case of unilateral ectopic scrotum with crytorchidism. The penis showed normal in appearence. The ectopic scrotum with cryptorchidism was found on the left inguinal area. And there was left ipsilateral renal agenesis on the ultrasonogram and DMSA renal scanning. We successfully performed scrotoplasty and orchiopexy.

Intrascrotal lymphangioma is a rare benign lesion of uncertain etiology. A 2-year-old male and a 3-year-old male presented with painful swelling of the right scrotum. After sonographic examination of scrotums, both cases were explored and found to have cystic scrotal masses separated from testes and epididymies. Histopathologic study of the resected specimens confirmed intrascrotal lymphangiomas.

Cystic lymphangioma is a relatively rare congenital malformation of the lymphatic system. It is very rare that retroperitoneal cystic lymphangioma was detected by prenatal ultrasonography. There has been no case reported that scrotal cystic lymphangioma was detected by prenatal ultrasonography. We detected a cystic structure with multiseptation in the scrotum at 30 weeks gestation. In addition, we detected the same structure in the retroperitoneum at 35 weeks gestation by routine ultrasonography. Because of increasing size of the cyst, we performed induction delivery at 38 weeks gestation. Operation of the neonate was performed on the 13th day after birth by a pediatric surgeon and the mass was excised and confirmed as cystic lymphangioma. We experienced a case of huge cystic lymphangioma of the retroperitoneum and scrotum by prenatal sonography and report our case with a brief review of literature.

Being located in the hypogastric area, the ilioinguinal nerve, together with iliohypogastric nerve, can be damaged during lower abdominal surgeries. Conventionally, the diagnosis of ilioinguinal neuropathy relies on clinical assessments, and standardized diagnostic methods have not been established as of yet. We hereby report the case of young man who presented ilioinguinal neuralgia with symptoms of burning pain in the right groin and scrotum shortly after receiving inguinal herniorrhaphy. To raise the diagnostic certainty, we used a real-time ultrasonography (US) to guide a monopolar electromyography needle to the ilioinguinal nerve, and then performed a motor conduction study. A subsequent US-guided ilioinguinal nerve block resulted in complete resolution of the patient's neuralgic symptoms.

Scrotal calculi are freely mobile calcified bodies or stones located between the layers of the tunica vaginalis of the testis. The literature on this relatively rare benign lesion consists mostly of case reports. In most cases, scrotal calculi are found incidentally during ultrasound examination. Now with the application of high-frequency ultrasonography, the detection rate of scrotal calculi is gradually increasing. This article summarizes the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of scrotal calculi.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the application of scrotal ultrasonography in the diagnosis of the causes of azoospermia.

METHODSWe performed scrotal ultrasonography for 96 patients with azoospermia, and analyzed the ultrasonographic images in comparison with the results of the final diagnosis.

RESULTSBased on the characteristics of the ultrasonographic images, 35 of the cases were diagnosed as obstructive azoospermia and the other 61 as non-obstructive azoospermia, with an accuracy rate of 97.0%. The causes and sites of the lesions were manifested in 44.4% of the obstructive and 46.7% of the non-obstructive cases, with accuracy rates of 100% and 75.0%, respectively. As for the rest of the cases, scrotal ultrasonography helped narrow the scope of further examinations by giving directional indications.

CONCLUSIONScrotal ultrasonography is an essential means for the diagnosis of the causes of azoospermia, or for obtaining directional indications of its causes.
