Scrotum occasionally comes across the desk of pathologists. It can be considered a skin specimen.
Pathologies to consider
- Calcinosis cutis (AKA scrotal calcinosis).
- Fournier's gangrene.[1]
- Squamous cell carcinoma.
- Mesothelioma.[2]
- Other retroperitoneal sarcomas, e.g. liposarcoma.[3]
Specific entities
Scrotal calcinosis
- See: Calcinosis cutis.
Aggressive angiomyxoma
Main article: Aggressive angiomyxoma
Classically a vulvar lesion that may be seen in the scrotum.
Paratesticular liposarcoma
General
- Rare - small series and case reports.[5]
- Margin status - important predictor of outcome.[5]
- May (clinically) mimic a testicular tumour.[6]
Microsopic
- See liposarcoma.
