Abstract

Scrotal lipoma is benign and still, one of the rarest cancers, with very few cases previously reported in the world. The exact pathogenesis of lipomas remains unknown. Scrotal lipomas can be classified into three categories based on their origins: scrotal lipoma, spermatic cord and tunica vaginalis tumor, and primary scrotal lipoma. The disease may be misdiagnosed or diagnosed inaccurately. We present a case of a 46-year-old male with a giant bilateral scrotal lipoma presenting as scrotal swelling and discomfort, which was first diagnosed as an inguinal hernia. Computed tomography, ultrasound, and fine needle aspiration were performed and aroused a suspicion of lipoma. An operation was performed, and the tumor was completely excised and histologically confirmed as a lipoma. To our knowledge, this is the largest scrotal tumor reported in Vietnam, which led to not only diagnostic but also treatment challenges. Therefore, it is significant to report similar cases that can help clinicians diagnose and handle such tumors in a timely manner.
双阴囊脂肪瘤是越南最大的肿瘤,报告一罕见病例
阴囊脂肪瘤是一种良性肿瘤,目前仍是最罕见的癌症之一,在世界上报道的病例很少。脂肪瘤的确切发病机制尚不清楚。阴囊脂肪瘤根据其来源可分为三类:阴囊脂肪瘤、精索及阴道膜瘤和原发性阴囊脂肪瘤。该病可能被误诊或诊断不准确。我们提出一个46岁的男性与一个巨大的双阴囊脂肪瘤表现为阴囊肿胀和不适,这是第一次被诊断为腹股沟疝。经电脑断层扫描、超音波及细针抽吸,怀疑为脂肪瘤。手术后,肿瘤被完全切除,组织学证实为脂肪瘤。据我们所知,这是越南报道的最大的阴囊肿瘤,这不仅导致了诊断,也带来了治疗挑战。因此,报告类似病例有助于临床医生及时诊断和处理此类肿瘤具有重要意义。
