| Abstrakt: | Objective: Basal cell carcinoma and leiomyoma of the scrotum are rare. We describe three cases of scrotal tumors and provide information regarding this disease. Methods: Between 2000 and 2014, 3 patients with scrotal tumors were diagnosed and treated at our institution. A review was performed using the clinical records of these patients. Results: We describe two cases of basal cell carcinoma of the scrotum in men 72 and 71 year old, who presented with a left scrotal lesion that was excised and the pathological diagnosis was basal cell carcinoma. In one patient, surgical margin was affected and a recurrent basal cell carcinoma appeared. It was excised with enlargement of surgical margin. We also describe a case of scrotal leiomyoma in a 48 year old man with an elastic, firm and nontender lesion in the right scrotum. During follow-up the patients remain clinically asymptomatic. Conclusions: Scrotal lesions in the elderly should be excised and submitted for pathological examination. The basal cell carcinoma of the scrotum appears as a plaque, nodule or ulcer. Long-term surveillance is recommended for these patients. Leiomyoma of the scrotum is presented as a non-ulcerative nodule and his treatment is complete surgical excision. |
