“…However, lesions in this location may have overlapping imaging findings (5). Sometimes, well-differentiated liposarcomas may simulate benign lipomas and the differential diagnosis is complicated (2). The present case presented with typical MRI findings thus emphasizing the diagnostic role of MRI.…”

Lipomas are benign mesenchymal tumours that are rarely seen in the scrotum. Few cases of primary scrotal lipomas originating from the scrotal wall have been reported in the literature. We describe the case of a giant primary intrascrotal lipoma presenting as scrotal swelling and discomfort. Findings from scrotal magnetic resonance imaging were highly suspicious for lipoma. The mass was completely excised and histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of lipoma.

“…3 This exploration can provide information of tumour topography in the scrotum, cystic or solid scrotal masses but it is difficult to distinguish malignancy. 10 On sonography, lipomas present as well-defined, homogeneous hyperechoic lesions, while, the heterogeneous hypoechoic architectures, often containing areas of calcification are suggestive for myxoid, fibrous or vascular tissues. 11 In addition, although extra-testicular tumours are usually benign, any painless echogenic mass with heterogeneous architecture on ultrasound and relatively low vascularity should indicate a liposarcoma.…”

Scrotal lipomas are benign tumours rarely seen in clinical practice. They can mimic common affections such as an an inguinoscrotal hernia, varicocele, hydrocele or a testicular tumour. Thus, in many cases, physical examination leads to a correct diagnosis, there are situations that require comprehensive imagistic examinations, to establish the preoperatory nature of the scrotal tumour. A case of 64-year-old male, known with arterial hypertension and gonarthrosis, came to the hospital for a painless scrotal tumour with a fast growth rate in dimensions over the last year. Physical examination detected an elastic, painless, irreducible, irregularly shaped mass of a right scrotal region. The scrotal ultrasound revealed a heterogeneous hyperechoic solid mass with 10x8.1x8cm in dimensions, localized in the right scrotal region. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a globular shaped right scrotal tumour mass with well-defined margins, poorly vascularized at the lower pole. Surgery was performed, with excision of a mass about 10cm in major diameter from the right scrotal wall. Postoperative evolution was good, and the histological diagnosis of primary scrotal lipoma was made. One-year follow-up revealed no local relapse.

Lipoma is the commonest benign mesenchymal tumor composed of matured adipocytes. A literature search revealed few reported cases of giant scrotal lipoma. This article aims to report a giant scrotal lipoma weighing 1100 g and illustrate our challenges with the diagnostic process in a low-resource setting. A 28-year-old male presented with a huge right scrotal mass. Examination revealed the mass had no cough impulse. It was firm, non-tender and lobulated, with definite edges. Scrotal sonography was suspicious of lipoma. Intraoperatively, there was an encapsulated scrotal wall mass and an incidental inguinoscrotal hernia, content being the omentum. The scrotal mass was excised, hernia sac was ligated, and excised and the posterior wall was repaired. Histology confirmed the scrotal mass as a lipoma. Primary scrotal lipomas are rare but should be considered in the differential diagnosis of unusual scrotal masses. Ultrasonography is a useful diagnostic tool in resource-limited settings.

Giant intrascrotal lipoma

Abstract: SUMMARYIntrascrotal lipomas are rarely seen. Scrotal lipomas originate from the spermatic cord. We present a 64-year-old male patient, in the light of the literature, with painless swelling on the left half of the scrotum, histopathologically diagnosed with scrotal lipoma. BACKGROUND
