Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the scrotum was one of the first occupational diseases to be described, and acquired its eponym from Sir Percivall Pott. The condition has now become rare owing to the establishment of industrial health norms. A 45-year-old male with a history of long-term exposure to petrochemicals presented to our institution with a scrotal lesion and underwent wide-local excision of the same. Histopathology revealed well-differentiated SCC involving the epididymis. Treatment options included excision with ilio-inguinal bloc dissection (in the event of lymphadenopathy) with subsequent chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. Tumors following occupational exposure thus continue to contribute to the rapidly decreasing incidence of scrotal carcinoma.

“…El carcinoma de células escamosas del escroto es una neoplasia poco frecuente (sólo se han reportado casos aislados). [1][2][3] En Estados Unidos se ha reportado una incidencia de 10 casos al año, 4 cuya tasa aumentó de 0.49 a 0.95 en 100,000 habitantes de 1973 a 2002. 5 La variante de células escamosas es la más común dentro de las neoplasias del escroto.…”

ANTECEDENTES: el carcinoma de células escamosas del escroto es poco frecuente, con escasos reportes en la bibliografía. Suele afectar a pacientes de avanzada edad, no genera síntomas y provoca una lesión ulcerada sangrante, de bordes indurados en el escroto.CASO CLÍNICO: paciente de 83 años de edad, fogonero y mecánico, con exposición crónica al humo de leña y diversos agentes químicos. Ingresó al servicio de Urología del Centro Médico Nacional La Raza, con úlcera sangrante en el hemiescroto izquierdo, de 12 meses de evolución. A la exploración física se identificó una lesión superficial de 3 x 2 cm, ovoide, de bordes irregulares, ulcerada, con escaso sangrado; no se palparon ganglios linfáticos. La tomografía computada descartó datos de metástasis pulmonares, óseas o hepáticas. Tampoco evidenció enfermedad ganglionar locorregional ni a distancia. La estadificación se realizó según los criterios de Lowe para carcinoma de escroto y TNM de carcinoma de células escamosas. Se efectuó la disección de la lesión en su totalidad, mediante una incisión en el huso de bordes amplios de aproximadamente 2 cm. El paciente tuvo evolución posquirúrgica adecuada; se descartó el tratamiento coadyuvante y hasta el momento permanece en vigilancia.PALABRAS CLAVE: carcinoma de células escamosas, cáncer escrotal, exposición ocupacional.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the scrotum is a tumor that is of interest for clinical and historical reasons. It was the first cancer linked to occupational exposure when, in 1775, Perivall Pott described it in chimney sweeps in England. Other occupations that had a preponderance of the disease included people who worked with the distillates of coal and men exposed to mineral oil. Currently, the disease is very rare and most cases are thought to result from poor hygiene and chronic irritation. Surgery with a negative resection margin offers the best hope of cure as adjunctive therapy has not proved useful. Prognosis correlates with the extent of nodal involvement.
