“…LFN has cystic cavities limited by eosinophilic, wavy, and refringent hyaline membranes positive for Sudan black, periodic acid-Schiff stain (with and without diastase digestion), and orcein stain with yellow-green autofluorescence . Three patients in our series, pubertal boys experiencing intravaginal torsion, presented the same findings [103]. Microscopically, silhouettes of necrotic seminiferous tubules were surrounded by granulation tissue.…”

“…Lipomembranous fat necrosis of spermatic cord Some patients with untreated spermatic cord torsion develop an atrophic testis retracted to the inguinal region. This is followed weeks or even months later by a painful inguinal mass representing the lesion known as "lipomembranous fat necrosis" (LFN) [103]. This is a nonspecific form of fat degeneration associated with impairment of the vascular supply to the adipose tissue (Fig.…”

Among the most frequent specimens at the pediatric surgical pathology bench, orchiectomy performed after testicular torsion deserves significant attention. Multiple implications, including fertility, legal complications, possibility of occult lesion, and others, need to be considered. Furthermore, torsion of testicular and other appendices represents common urological emergencies frequently encountered in surgical pathology. Here we present a review of testicular torsion and infarction, including theories about their pathogenesis and the appropriate handling by the diagnostic pathologist.

The panniculitides comprise a group of heterogeneous inflammatory diseases that involve the subcutaneous fat. Histopathological study is required for the specific diagnosis of these disorders, because different panniculitides usually show the same clinical appearance – which typically consists of erythematous nodules on the lower extremities. However, the histopathological study of panniculitis is difficult because of the poor correlation between clinical and pathological findings and the changing microscopic appearances as the lesions evolve. Furthermore, large scalpel incisional biopsies are required in order to evaluate panniculitis fully. From the histopathological point of view, all panniculitides are somewhat mixed, because the inflammatory infiltrate involves both the septa and lobules. However, differentiation between a predominantly septal and a predominantly lobular panniculitis is usually straightforward at scanning magnification on the basis of which subcutaneous structures are the more intensely involved by the inflammatory infiltrate.
