Description
Résumé:We report a case of primary scrotal sclerosing lipogranuloma. A 39-year-old man who had complained of a painless intrascrotal mass was introduced to our hospital for detailed examinations. He denied having received any injection of exogenous substances or having suffered from any trauma. Physical examination revealed a U-shaped elastic hard mass surrounding the penile shaft in the scrotum. T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated an ill-defined U-shaped lesion which exhibited relatively low signal intensity. Primary scrotal sclerosing lipogranuloma was the most suspected. The mass gradually disappeared after 47 days from tumor open biopsy for definitive diagnosis. We found 227 cases reported in Japan, and we discuss the diagnosis, treatment and clinical features with reference to previous reports
