Abstract
Eccrine spiradenoma is a rare benign dermal tumor which is usually diagnosed after excision by histopathological results. A few case reports described imaging by ultrasound only. We describe additional magnetic resonance imaging features of scrotal eccrine spiradenoma by different sequences. We report the case of a 67-year-old man presented with a mildly painful intrascrotal swelling that had been increasing in size. The lesion was evaluated with ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, and the diagnosis of eccrine spiradenoma was confirmed by histopathology. The patient underwent surgical removal of the lesion. The patient recovered well and was followed up for 12 months. Scrotal eccrine spiradenoma is a rare tumor and little is known about its imaging features. The combination of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging features may help radiologists to strongly suspect the diagnosis before histopathological confirmation.
Learning points: Scrotal eccrine spiradenoma is a rare tumor and little is known about its imaging features.The combination of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging features may help radiologists to strongly suspect its diagnosis before histopathological confirmation.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine is an official journal of the European Federation of Internal Medicine (EFIM), representing 35 national societies from 33 European countries. The Journal''s mission is to promote the best medical practice and innovation in the field of acute and general medicine. It also provides a forum for internal medicine doctors where they can share new approaches with the aim of improving diagnostic and clinical skills in this field. EJCRIM welcomes high-quality case reports describing unusual or complex cases that an internist may encounter in everyday practice. The cases should either demonstrate the appropriateness of a diagnostic/therapeutic approach, describe a new procedure or maneuver, or show unusual manifestations of a disease or unexpected reactions. The Journal only accepts and publishes those case reports whose learning points provide new insight and/or contribute to advancing medical knowledge both in terms of diagnostics and therapeutic approaches. Case reports of medical errors, therefore, are also welcome as long as they provide innovative measures on how to prevent them in the current practice (Instructive Errors). The Journal may also consider brief and reasoned reports on issues relevant to the practice of Internal Medicine, as well as Abstracts submitted to the scientific meetings of acknowledged medical societies.
