“…The first metastasis of aggressive angiomyolipoma usually occurs in the pelvis, followed by extensive dissemination in the lung, mediastinal, iliac, and aortic lymph nodes with peritoneal dissemination, and the patient eventually dies due to multiple organ failure[ 12 ]. Therefore, annual postoperative follow-ups and imaging for recurrence are recommended in patients with aggressive angiomyolipoma[ 13 ]. Radiotherapy can be used as a hormonal therapy or to control multiple recurrences after surgical resection with poor results[ 14 ].…”

Time series analysis is a valuable tool in epidemiology that complements the classical epidemiological models in two different ways: Prediction and forecast. Prediction is related to explaining past and current data based on various internal and external influences that may or may not have a causative role. Forecasting is an exploration of the possible future values based on the predictive ability of the model and hypothesized future values of the external and/or internal influences. The time series analysis approach has the advantage of being easier to use (in the cases of more straightforward and linear models such as Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average). Still, it is limited in forecasting time, unlike the classical models such as Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Removed. Its applicability in forecasting comes from its better accuracy for short-term prediction. In its basic form, it does not assume much theoretical knowledge of the mechanisms of spreading and mutating pathogens or the reaction of people and regulatory structures (governments, companies, etc. ). Instead, it estimates from the data directly. Its predictive ability allows testing hypotheses for different factors that positively or negatively contribute to the pandemic spread; be it school closures, emerging variants, etc. It can be used in mortality or hospital risk estimation from new cases, seroprevalence studies, assessing properties of emerging variants, and estimating excess mortality and its relationship with a pandemic.

PurposeAggressive angiomyxoma (AAM) was identified as a distinct clinicopathological entity in 1983. Since then, a few cases of its occurrence in the scrotum have been reported. This case series was performed to increase clinicians' understanding of the clinical features and treatment of AAM in the scrotum.MethodsWe evaluated the clinical presentations, treatments, and follow-up of two patients with AAM in the scrotum in our hospital and 34 cases reported in the literature.ResultsAmong the 36 patients, the average age was 48.3 ± 20.6 years old (range from 1 to 81); the average maximum diameter of the tumor was 8.36 cm (1.6–25 cm); the site of one (2.78%) patient was located in the epididymis, two (5.56%) in the testes, five (13.89%) in the spermatic cord, and 28 (77.77%) in the scrotum. The clinical symptoms were generally non-specific and 20 patients inadvertently discovered their slow-growing painless masses. The treatments for all these patients were surgical excision once the tumor had been found and one case underwent excision followed by radiotherapy. The median follow-up time for the remaining 32 cases was 24.5 months (1 to 84 months). Recurrence occurred in three cases (9.09%) at the primary sites and no cases of distant metastasis.ConclusionAAM of the scrotum can occur in middle-aged and elderly men. The clinical manifestation generally involves a long history of asymptomatic masses or swelling in the scrotum. Ultrasound is the most commonly used diagnostic technique but magnetic resonance imaging may be more effective. The mainly treatment is surgical excision and postoperative histopathological examination is still the gold standard for its diagnosis. Although it is locally aggressive, metastasis is extremely rare in males.

“…However, according to our review, the recurrence rate is 11.8% (n = 8/68), and the mean time period until the first recurrence is 28.8 months, with a range of 2–84 months. Follow-up duration ranged from 1 to 144 months and the MRI is the preferred method for detecting recurrences [ 3 ]. Metastases are exceedingly rare, and overall, the prognosis is good [ 25 ].…”

“…The first case was reported by Steeper and Rosai in 1983, and two years later, the first case was reported in men. It commonly originates in males from the scrotum, inguinal region, and perineum, and has a high risk of local recurrence after surgical excision without metastasizing [ 1 , 3 , 4 ]. The term “aggressive” indicates the local infiltrative nature of the tumor and the high risk of local recurrence.…”
