Giant scrotal lipoma: A case report

Abstract

Lipomas are one of the most common benign mesenchymal neoplasms. Scrotal lipomas may originate from epididymis, spermatic cord or tunica. We report a case of 27 years old male complaining for a slow-growing, painless mass in his left hemiscrotum. Imaging with ultrasonography and magnetic resonance was inconclusive regarding the nature of the tumor and the tumor (20 cm) was excised, paring the testis. Histopathology was defined as an atypical lipoma.

Dev skrotal lipom: Olgu sunumu

Abstract

Lipomlar en sık görülen benign mezenkimal neoplazmlardan biridir. Skrotal lipomlar epididim, spermatik kord ya da tunika kaynaklı olabilir. Bu sunumuzda sol hemiskrotumda yavaş büyüyen, ağrısız bir kitle şikayeti ile gelen 27 yaşındaki bir erkek olguyu sunuyoruz. Ultrasonografi ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme kitlenin doğası ile ilgili kesin sonuç vermedi ve testisin korunmasıyla yaklaşık 20 cm lik kitle ksize edildi. Histopatolojisi atipik lipom olarak tanımlandı.
