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.

3.The Diagnostic Value of the Ultrasonography on the Traumatized Scrotum.
Korean Journal of Urology 1990;31(6):874-877
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Segmental testicular infarction is a rare cause of acute scrotum. Its etiology is not well defined and it can be clinically confused with a testicular tumor. Imaging studies play an important role in the preoperative diagnosis, with a Color doppler ultrasonography as the investigation of choice although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be useful in doubtful cases. We report a case of segmental testicular infarction treated with partial orchiectomy seen in a 58-year-old man with right scrotal pain.

Differential diagnosis of acute scrotum is very important. As the chances of salvaging testicular function are inversely proportional to the elapsed time between onset of torsion/rupture and surgical repair of testes, prompt and accurate diagnosis is imperative. 17 patients with acute scrotum who had visited to the Department of Urology, Yeungnam University Hospital from June l985 to May l986 underwent scrotal ultrasonography to evaluate the value of scrotal ultrasonography for the differentiation of the diseases that cause acute scrotum. Scrotal ultrasonographic findings in 8 patients with acute epididymitis were enlargements of the epididymes with decreased echogenicity in 7 and enlargement of the epididymis and testis with mixed echogenicity in 1. In 3 patients with testicular torsion ultrasonogram revealed enlarged epididymis and testis with homogeneous and slightly decreased echogenicity in 1 patient of acute stage (within 24 hours) and enlarged epididymis and testes with diffuse mixed echogenicity in 2 patients. In 6 patients with scrotal trauma ultrasonogram revealed extratesticular fluid collection with well-defined intact in 1 patient of intrascrotal hematoma. 2 patients with testicular hematoma showed well-defined testes with intratesticular focal echolucent region on ultrasonogram. 3 patients with testicular rupture revealed mixed echogenicity in an injured hemiscrotum with well-defined testes in 2 out of 3.

10.Polyorchidism.
Hae Young PARK ; Hong Sang MOON
Korean Journal of Urology 2005;46(5):536-538
Polyorchidism is an uncommon congenital anomaly, which is defined as the presence of more than two testes, and may be associated with urological pathologies, such as an undescended testis, inguinal hernia, testicular torsion and testicular tumor. In the absence of any concomitant disorder, and if testicular tumor can be ruled out, using magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography, then a surgical exploration or biopsy is unnecessary. We report a case of polyorchidism in a 3 year-old-boy, with three testes in the right scrotum.
