“…Malignant tumors commonly include leiomyosarcoma and hemangiopericytoma. Benign tumors commonly include lipomas, leiomyomas, fibromas, and neurofibromas, with omental fibromas accounting for approximately 2%[ 3 - 5 ]. Cases where tumors fall into the scrotum and manifest as inguinal hernias are even rarer[ 6 - 9 ].…”

BACKGROUND The most common causes of scrotal enlargement in patients include primary tumor of the scrotum, inflammation, hydrocele of the tunica vaginalis, and indirect inguinal hernia; scrotal enlargement caused by external tumors of the scrotum is rare. The patient had both a greater omentum tumor and an inguinal hernia, and the tumor protruded into the scrotum through the hernia sac, which is even rarer. Moreover, omental tumors are mostly metastatic, and primary omental fibroma is rare. CASE SUMMARY Here, we report a rare case of a 25-year-old young man with scrotal enlargement and pain for 3 months. Preoperative examination and multidisciplinary discussions considered intra-abdominal tumor displacement and inguinal hernia, and intraoperative exploration confirmed that the greater omentum tumor protruded into the scrotum. Therefore, tumor resection and tension-free inguinal hernia repair were performed. The final diagnosis was benign fibroma of the greater omentum accompanied by an indirect inguinal hernia. CONCLUSION This unusual presentation of a common inguinal hernia disease illustrates the necessity of performing detailed history taking, physical examination, and imaging before surgery.

Background: The solitary fibrous tumor is a rare soft tissue mesenchymal tumor which typically arises from the pleura but may be found anywhere in the body. Abdominal localizations are very rare. The solitary fibrous tumor is classified into two forms, pleural and extrapleural, and morphologically they resemble each other. The diagnostics of the tumor is usually accidental because usually there are no clinical symptoms. The main treatment of the solitary fibrous tumor is the surgical removal of the tumor while radiotherapy treatment and chemotherapy outcomes remain unclear due to the rarity of the tumor and lack of data.Case presentation: We report the case of the 32-year-old man who was diagnosed with the solitary fibrous tumor of the peritoneal cavity. Laparotomy was performed. A grayish-white, stiff, coarse-grained tumor about 11 cm in diameter of the greater omentum was found and radical omentectomy with tumor removal were performed. Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient is well with no signs of recurrence on the CT scan of the chest and abdomen and MRI of the pelvis at 6 months after surgery.Conclusions: The solitary fibrous tumor is a rare condition. It is a borderline-malignant tumor but may cause serious complications if not treated. Due to the absence of clinical symptoms, the tumor is usually detected accidentally. The radical surgical removal of the tumor is the most optimal treatment.
