“…The appropriateness of inguinal lymph node dissection at time of primary surgery remains controversial. Graves and Flo [2] propose bilateral radical groin dissection to remove micrometastases, while Ray and Whitmore [8] advocate withholding node dissection until there is clinical suspicion of nodal metastases. In our patient, we opted to assess for regional or distant nodal metastasis by PET-CT.…”

“…In 1775, Pott reported greater scrotal cancer rates in chimney sweepers, the first description of an occupationally related cancer. It has subsequently been associated with exposure to tar, arsenic, paraffin, shale oil, petroleum wax, sun exposure, and human papillomavirus [2]. Currently, most cases are thought to result from poor hygiene and chronic inflammation [3].…”

We report a case of scrotal squamous cell carcinoma in a 67-year-old man that presented as a recurrent nonhealing scrotal abscess. Radical scrotectomy and bilateral simple orchiectomy were performed. A pudendal thigh flap was used for wound closure. To our knowledge, this is the first report of its use after radical surgery for scrotal cancer. The clinical features, staging, and treatment of scrotal squamous cell carcinoma are reviewed. In this report, we highlight the importance of including scrotal cancer in the differential diagnosis when evaluating a scrotal abscess.

“…Morley (191 1) described the lymphatic spread of scrotal carcinoma, demonstrating that there was communication between the superficial lymphatics on both sides of the scrotum. Subsequent treatment was based on these findings, wide local excision with bilateral inguinal node dissection being recommended (Southam and Wilson, 1922;Graves and Flo, 1940). Dean (1948) and McDonald (1 982), however, recommended lymphadenectomy only for biopsy-proven disease, it having been shown that node dissection is unnecessary in 75% of patients.…”

“…In some cases due to a rapid increase in the lesion size, superficial skin ulceration and bleeding can occur and the area may get infected 1 2. The usual risk factors for the development of squamous cell carcinoma of scrotum include exposure to chemicals like arsenic, paraffin, tar, petroleum wax and human papillomavirus 3. Both scrotal cancer and a scrotal abscess can present with similar features like scrotal swelling, skin ulceration and wound discharge.…”
