Rationale: Spermatic cord myxomas are rare benign tumors, typically characterized by the production of mucopolysaccharides. These tumors are infrequently found in the urinary system, making this case noteworthy. Patient concerns: A 55-year-old male presented with a painless swelling on the right side of his scrotum, which had persisted for over 3 months. There were no associated symptoms, and the patient had no significant medical history. Diagnoses: Initial diagnostic workup included physical examination, ultrasonography, and CT scans, which revealed a 2 cm cystic nodule near the right spermatic vein. Postoperative histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of myxoma. Interventions: The patient underwent laparoscopic high ligation of the left spermatic vein and excision of the right spermatic sheath cyst. The surgery was successful, with the cyst being completely removed. Outcomes: Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and histopathological examination confirmed the benign nature of the tumor. Follow-up was advised to monitor for any recurrence. Lessons: Although rare, spermatic cord myxomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of scrotal masses. Surgical excision is both diagnostic and therapeutic, providing a favorable prognosis with minimal risk of recurrence.

В огляді висвітлено проблеми діагностики доброякісних пухлин тонкої кишки. Проаналізовано особливості клінічного перебігу доброякісних пухлин тонкої кишки та можливості сучасних інтраскопічних технологій. Показано, що клінічні прояви можуть бути мізерними і діагностика доброякісних пухлин залишається складним завданням. Частота виявлення доброякісних пухлин у практиці роботи університетської клініки складає 0,1 % від числа звернень. Ендоскопія шлунка та товстої кишки, ультразвукове дослідження та рентгенологічні дослідження тонкої кишки залишаються актуальними як заходи першої лінії в діагностичному пошуку. Як додаткові методи дослідження можуть застосовувати ентерографію (та ентерокліз) з КТ і МРТ, а також КТ-ангіографію і капсульну ендоскопію. В останні роки для аналізу зображень, одержаних при ендоскопії, використовують системи з технологією штучного інтелекту. Впровадження новітніх технологій інтраскопічної діагностики дозволяє збільшити частоту виявлення доброякісних пухлин.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
