Paratesticular liposarcomas are uncommon malignancies, often misdiagnosed preoperatively, that present as a painless scrotal mass. There is no universal consensus on their management due to scarcity of reported cases. Early detection and prompt surgical intervention provide the best disease outcome. We present the case of a 74-year-old man with a painless left testicular mass. Ultrasound and CT scan showed a paratesticular tumour. He underwent left high inguinal orchidectomy. Histopathological, immunohistochemical and cytogenetics studies confirmed the diagnosis of a Grade 2 well differentiated paratesticular liposarcoma with clear surgical margins. The case was referred to our regional sarcoma centre and currently undergoes regular follow-up.
Testicular sarcoidosis is a rare condition characterised by non-caseating granulomas located within the testicles. This case study reports a 44-year-old man who presented initially in 2011 with testicular pain and bilateral testicular sarcoidosis was confirmed on scrotal US. In 2019 he presented with erectile dysfunction. Scrotal ultrasound scan (US) showed bilateral testicular sarcoidosis that has not changed in size and nature when compared with US in 2011.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
