Hydrocele among Patients undergoing Surgery in the Department of Surgery in a Tertiary Care Center: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.

Hydrocele, an accumulation of serous fluid within the remnant of the processus vaginalis, is a common cause of painless scrotal enlargement. While prevalent, few studies have been conducted to assess the extent and risk factors of hydrocele in Nepal. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of hydrocele among patients undergoing the surgery department at a tertiary care center in Nepal. This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care center. Data were retrospectively collected from medical records over one year (2021 July to 2022 June), including all patients undergoing surgery in the general surgery department. Ethical Approval was received from the Institutional Review Committee of the same institute (Reference number: 820/2080/81) Cases of hydrocele surgery were identified, and relevant data were extracted using a structured proforma. Descriptive analyses were performed using Microsoft Excel 2016. Out of 1812 surgeries, 95 (9.72%) were hydrocele surgeries. Of these, 94 (98.95%) were non-communicating hydroceles, 79 (83.16%) were unilateral, and 90 (94.74%) showed positive transillumination tests. The mean age of patients was 50.84 ± 17.02 years, with the highest number of cases in the 46-55 age group (20%). Postoperative complications occurred in 19 (20%) patients, with seroma and surgical site infection being the most common (31.58% each). Hydrocele surgeries comprised a significant portion (5.24%) of surgical cases at the tertiary care center, with the majority being non-communicating and unilateral types.

Scrotal Elephantiasis in a 14-year-old Child

Background: Scrotal elephantiasis is a rare condition, especially in non-endemic regions. This case is novel due to its presentation in a young patient without infectious or hereditary causes, highlighting the need for awareness and tailored surgical approaches in similar scenarios. Case Presentation: A 14-year-old male presented with an 11-year history of progressive scrotal enlargement, causing significant physical impairment. Clinical examination and ultrasound confirmed scrotal elephantiasis. Surgical resection and reconstruction were performed, involving excision of excess tissue and subsequent scrotal reconstruction. Postoperative care included wound management and physiotherapy. The patient recovered well, with satisfactory aesthetic and functional outcomes, allowing a return to normal activities. Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of early diagnosis and individualized treatment strategies for scrotal elephantiasis. It demonstrates that successful surgical intervention can significantly improve quality of life in pediatric patients, providing a reference for similar cases in non-endemic regions.

Diagnostic Approach to Equine Testicular Disorders.

Management of breeding stallions is crucial to equine reproduction. The longevity of the breeding career is the ultimate objective, whether the stallion is used for natural cover or for semen collection and artificial insemination. Stud farm veterinarians should be aware of the techniques used to evaluate testicular function and the diagnostic approach to testicular disorders in cases of emergency. This paper presents the clinical methods used to evaluate testicular health, including palpation, ultrasonography, biopsy, and fine-needle aspiration. The discussion of testicular disorders is broken down into four categories: congenital disorders (cryptorchidism, monorchidism, and testicular hypoplasia), differential diagnosis of scrotal enlargement, differential diagnosis of causes of progressive testicular enlargement, and differential diagnosis of testicular asymmetry or reduction in size with an emphasis on testicular degeneration. The sudden increase in testicular size is often accompanied by severe clinical signs and is a major cause for referral of stallion for surgery. Testicular disorders are illustrated with clinical cases seen by the authors.

Diagnosis and treatment of malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis: a series of 7 cases

Objective: To investigate the clinical features, diagnosis, prognosis of malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis (MMTVT). Methods: The clinicopathological data of 7 patients with MMTVT who treated at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center between January 2010 and October 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Cases were first diagnosed at (M (IQR)) 49 (23) years old (range: 27 to 64 years old). The main clinical manifestations were scrotal enlargement (7 cases) and hydrocele (2 cases). Results: Three patients underwent radical orchiectomy as initial treatment, 2 cases underwent hydrocelectomy due to diagnosis of hydrocele, followed by radical orchiectomy at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, and 2 cases underwent transscrotal orchiectomy. Common tumor markers of testicular cancer were not significantly elevated in MMTVT. The expression of tumor PD-L1 was positive in 2 out of the 3 cases. One patient received adjuvant chemotherapy and 2 patients received first-line chemotherapy after tumor recurrence. Chemotherapy regimens used include cisplatin+pemetrexed. Up to October 2022, 3 cases relapsed, of which 2 cases died. The median overall survival was 35 months (range: 4 to 87 months) and the median progression-free survival was 6 months (range: 2 to 87 months). Conclusions: MMTVT at early stage should be treated with early radical orchiectomy and followed up closely after surgery. The cisplatin+pemetrexed regimen is a common option for the treatment of metastatic MMTVT, while whether immune checkpoint inhibitors could serve as a second-line treatment option deserves further research.

Medicinal use of poisonous plant Arka its pharmacological study

A poisonous plant is one that, when touched or consumed in large enough quantities, can be hazardous or lethal to humans or other animals. These plants can be utilized as herbal medicines with therapeutic effects when used in the right proportions and in small doses. One of the herbs listed in all of the old Ayurvedic texts is Calotropis procera. In Ayurveda, it is referred to as Arka. In many traditional medical systems, the various portions of the plant are used to cure a wide range of illnesses, including worm infestation, strangury, and ulcers. Ascites, anasarca, intestinal worms, skin diseases, and cough have all been treated with the root bark. The root-powered can treat cancer, scrotal enlargement, piles, boils, dyspepsia, gastroenteritis, dysentery, and dyspepsia. Science-based pharmacological screens have been used by researchers to confirm the effectiveness of the compound. According to pharmacological studies, Calotropis procera Linn. exhibits a wide range of biological activities, including those that are hepatoprotective, cytotoxic, anti-diabetic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic, antioxidant, anthelmintic, wound healing, and anti-tumor. Details regarding the plant are documented in Ayurvedic botanical literature such as Dhanwantari Nighantu, Madana Pala Nighantu, and Bhavaprakash and therapeutical literature in Charak Samhita, Sushrut Samhita. This review presents pharmacognostic, pharmacological, and traditional uses of Calotropis procera.

Clinical and ultrasonographic findings in rams with scrotal enlargement

The present study aimed to investigate the clinical, ultrasonographic, and serological findings of scrotal enlargement in Iraqi Awassi rams in Nineveh governorate, Iraq. A total of 172 rams were brought to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, College of Veterinary Medicine, and a private clinic by the owners from different areas of Nineveh governorate between 1/4/2021 to 1/7/2021. All animals underwent ultrasonographic and serological examinations. The animals were 18 months - 6 years of age, with body condition scores ranging between 3-4 (on a scale from 1-5). The animal case history detailed was recorded, and clinical, with the ultrasonographic investigation, was done; a blood sample was taken to the lab and checked for Brucella spp by the Rose Bengal test. results revealed a total of 172 rams studied cases were 57 events of scrotal enlargement in study 57/172 (33.13%). Scrotal enlargement was associated with orchitis 29/57 (50.87%), peri-orchitis 12/57 (20.05%), and epididymitis 11/57 (19.29%). The other assorted finding was scrotal hernia 2/57 (3.50%), scrotal hematoma 1/57 (1.75%), hydrocele 1/57 (1.75%), and unilateral cryptorchidism 1/57 (1.75%). Orchitis 29 cases were associated with no abscess formation on 9/29 (31.03%), single abscess formation on 8/29 (27.58%), and multiple abscesses formations on 12/29 (41.37%). Serological tests of males with scrotal enlargement for Brucella spp were in frequency with other unknown cases which positive to Brucella were 37/57 (64.91%) cases and 22/57 (38.59%) negative cases, respectively. In conclusion, orchitis, peri-orchitis, epididymitis, and other male scrotal enlargement need more investigation and studies due to their effect on male fertility. Brucella spp was the main cause of male reproductive system infection, and ultrasonography was very effective for diagnosing infection when connected with lab data results.

A case of unilateral hydrocele in a dog secondary to inapparent inguinal hernia

A 6-year, male intact Coonhound, was presented for unilateral scrotal enlargement of roughly 3 months’ duration. His left side scrotum was markedly enlarged and edematous and both testes palpated normal. Rapid slide agglutination test (for brucellosis) and SNAP 4DX (IDEXX Laboratories, Inc., Westbrook, ME) test (for tick-borne disease) were negative. Initial scrotal ultrasonography revealed accumulation of anechoic fluid with hyperechoic flecks and swirling surrounding the left testis. On further ultrasonographic examination, omentum appeared extending through the left inguinal ring and into the scrotum. A case of scrotal hernia with secondary hydrocele was diagnosed. Hydrocele was resolved surgically and the dog returned to full athletic function.

Multifocal Malignant Epithelioid Mesothelioma of the Testis

Abstract Introduction/Objective Testicular mesothelioma is an extremely uncommon entity, and presents with non-specific clinical symptomatology, including painless scrotal enlargement and hydrocele formation. Testicular mesothelioma arising from the mesothelial cells of the tunica vaginalis accounts for 0.3%-5% of all mesothelioma cases and is often associated with poor prognosis. While the pathophysiology of this entity remains unclear, exposure to asbestos and long-standing hydrocele are associated risk factors. Methods/Case Report Herein, we present a case of a 65-year-old male with history of hypertension, 4-year history of left scrotal hydrocele, and a 7-month history of painless, progressively enlarging left scrotum. Scrotal ultrasound revealed a left, septated hydrocele with multiple heterogenous intratesticular masses. A left radical orchiectomy was performed and the specimen was sent to pathology for histopathological evaluation. Gross examination revealed a tan-brown fluid-filled cystic and solid mass measuring 7.5 x 4.0 x 3.5 cm involving the entire epididymis with multiple pink-tan, friable, papillary excrescences and nodules in the intratesticular parenchyma. Microscopic examination revealed a cystic and solid lesion with tubular and papillary architecture comprised of cuboidal cells with cellular pleomorphism, irregular nuclear contour, and dense chromatin involving the epididymis, rete testis, tunica albuginea, the testicular parenchyma including the hilar fat and the spermatic cord stroma. Immunohistochemical staining of the lesion demonstrated positive staining with AE1/AE3, CK7, WT1, PAX8, Calretinin, Vimentin, Podoplanin D2-40, and lack of staining with Chromogranin, Inhibin, MART-1, SMA, AFP, CD99, S100, c-kit, PLAP, HCG, MOC31, BerEP4. Based on the histomorphology and the immunophenotype of the lesion, a diagnosis of an epithelioid-type malignant mesothelioma was favored. Results (if a Case Study enter NA) N/A. Conclusion Malignant epithelioid mesothelioma of the testis is a rare and important clinical consideration for patients presenting with scrotal lesion, non-specific clinical presentation, and a history of asbestos exposure and/or long- standing hydrocele.

Huge multilocular spermatocele in a patient with left scrotal swelling

Introduction: Most spermatoceles are asymptomatic, unilocular, and small in size. They are typically cystic dilatations of the tubules of the efferent ductus in the head of the epididymitis, and less commonly dilatations of the tubules of the rete testis or aberrant ductus. However, huge spermatoceles are rare and to cause discomfort and cosmetic problems. Case Report: We present a case of a 42-year-old male with huge multilocular spermatocele mimicking hydrocele, who suffered from left scrotal enlargement for several years. Scrotal ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed multilocular cystic spaces at the head of the left testis. Surgical exploration was performed and the size of the removal specimen was approximately 8.5×6.5×6.0 cm. The aspirated fluid contained spermatozoa, and histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations of the specimen showed a multilocular spermatocele arising from the epididymitis. He has been followed up without any significant complaints and recurrence one year after the surgery. Conclusion: It is important to keep in mind for spermatocele when encounter giant cystic diseases with multilocular appearance adjacent to the testicle. In such cases surgical exploration can be recommended.

Role of radiological imaging techniques in the diagnosis of scrotal cystocele; a case report

Introduction: The condition known as scrotal cystocele occurs when the urinary bladder slides through the inguinal canal and fills the scrotum. It is a rare condition that typically affects obese male patients between the ages of 50 and 70. Massive scrotal cystocele in men younger than 45 or in the pediatric population is uncommon. Most people with scrotal cystocele are asymptomatic or present with the typical two-phase micturition with intermittent swelling that goes down after voiding. Presentation of the case: We present the case of a 44-yearold obese man who visited the radiology department with unusual symptoms, such as urinary frequency, urgency, nocturia, and suprapubic pain, along with scrotal enlargement. He was diagnosed as having a large scrotal cystocele based on his clinical history and radiological findings. Discussion: Rarely, reported cases include massive scrotal cystocele and left-sided ureter herniation. Preoperative diagnosis of IBH is important to lessen postoperative complications. Conclusion: Ultrasound, computed tomography intra-venous urogram (IVU), fluoroscopic cystography, antegrade IVU, and single- photon emission computerized tomography aid to diagnose the scrotal cystocele or mimicking inguinal metastasis on bone scan.

Clinical management of squamous cell carcinoma in an 8-year-old White Arewa Stallion: A case Report

An 8- year- old white Arewa stallion was hospitalized in our facility (Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria) with the primary complaints of fleshy growth on the lower eyelid of the right eye and unilateral left scrotal enlargement. Biopsies were taken via fine needle aspirate from the growth and sent to the histopathology laboratory of the Department of Veterinary Pathology, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria. Histo-pathology results confirmed 3rd stage of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Treatment was instituted using vincristine sulphate at a dose rate of 0.025mg/kg and a cyclo-oxygenate 2 inhibitor, diclofenac sodium at a dose rate of 0.5mg/kg for 6 cycles. The surgery was shelved because of the outcome of the therapy. The tumour regressed and the scrotum returned to normal size. The patient recovered and was discharged 2 weeks after the 6 weeks of therapy. The clinical relevance of note is that the above cocktail might be employed in managing early stage of SCC therapy where surgery is not required.

Fournier Gangrene: Case Report & Litarature Review

Introduction: Necrotizing fasciitis of the perineal and vaginal region is a symptom of Fournier's gangrene, which is caused by a synergistic polymicrobic infection. The clinical presentation varies depending on the original aetiology, ranging from anorectal or vaginal pain with limited evidence of cutaneous necrosis to a rapidly spreading necrosis of the skin and soft tissue, to systemic sepsis without any obvious signs or symptoms.
 Case history: A 65-year-old male who was admitted in hospital with the chief complaint of Scrotal enlargement, discomfort, hyperemia, pruritus, crepitus, and fever. There may also be a foul-smelling discharge. Symptoms usually appear during a two- to seven-day period. Soft-tissue gas may be present before clinical crepitus is detected. The patient with Fournier gangrene frequently seems poorly on physical examination, with prodromal signs of fever and lethargy lasting 2-7 days. Edema of the overlaying skin is usually present, as is acute pain and tenderness in the genitalia; pruritus may also be present.Skin may show evidence of trauma, surgery, insect or human bites or injection sites, In Respiratory system, B/L Air entry present. In cardiovascular system, S1 and S2 sound heard and Patient get conscious and well oriented to time, place, and person. Then, as quickly as possible, treatment was began; he did not improve after treatment, and treatment would continue till the conclusion of my care.
 Conclusion: We focus on professional management and superior nursing care in this study so that we may provide the complete treatment that Fournier Gangrene requires while also effectively managing the complex case. After a full recovery, the patient's comprehensive health care team collaborates to help the patient regain his or her previous level of independence and happiness.

Management of hydrocoele through homoeopathy: A case report

An abnormal collection of serous fluid within the tunica vaginalis or some part of processus vaginalis surrounding the testicles is termed as Hydrocoele. In many newborn cases, hydrocoele disappears on its own within 1st year of birth; if it does not disappear, then it needs to be surgically removed, but the procedure has its own risks. Homoeopathy assures the dissolution of fluid and prevents the risks of surgery. A 2-year-old boy with a scrotal enlargement (left-sided; volume 35 mm × 16 mm) presented at the outpatient department of Dr. MPK Homoeopathic Hospital, Jaipur, Rajasthan. Based on the presenting totality and pathological diagnosis, Pulsatilla 200 and an intercurrent remedy Rhododendron 200 were prescribed. The scrotal enlargement disappeared within 3 months, which proved the usefulness of homeopathic management in the case of hydrocoele.

Prevalence and Correlates of Lymphatic Filariasis Infection and Its Morbidity Following Mass Ivermectin and Albendazole Administration in Mkinga District, North-Eastern Tanzania.

Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a neglected tropical disease targeted for elimination as public health problem through morbidity management and preventive annual mass drug administration (MDA). This cross-sectional community-based surveillance assessed the prevalence and correlates of LF infection in Mkinga district, Tanga-region, Tanzania. A total of 4115 individuals (49.7% males, 35.2% children) were screened for circulating filarial antigens (CFA), microfilaremia (mf) and disease manifestations in 15 villages between November 2018 and January 2019. MDA uptake in the previous year was assessed. Overall prevalence of CFA-positivity was 5.8% (239/4115; 95% CI: 5.1–6.6), with significant heterogeneity between villages (range 1.2% to 13.5%). CFA-positivity was higher in males (8.8%) than females (3.3%), and correlated with increasing age (p < 0.001). Prevalence of mf among CFA-positives was 5.2%. Only 60% of eligible inhabitants in the study area took MDA in the previous year, and CFA-positivity was 2-fold higher in those who missed MDA (p < 0.0001). Prevalence of scrotal enlargement, hydrocele, arms or legs swelling, lymphoedema and lymphadenopathy was 6.4%, 3.7%, 1.35%, 1.2% and 0.32%, respectively. Compared to baseline data, 16 years of MDA intervention significantly reduced LF transmission and morbidity, although the intended elimination target of <1% mf and <2% antigenemia to level where recrudescence is unlikely to occur by the year 2020 may not be attained. The finding of hotspots with ongoing transmission calls for intensified control measures.

Clinical analysis of primary testicular diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

Objective To investigate the clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of primary testicular diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PT-DLBCL). Methods The clinical data of 2 patients with PT-DLBCL in the Second People's Hospital of Lianyungang treated in May 2013 and April 2018 was retrospectively analyzed. The clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of PT-DLBCL were summarized with review of these 2 cases combining with other 42 cases reported in domestic literature. Results Case 1, a 71 years old man, complained of bilateral scrotal enlargement with pain and discomfort for 2 months. Case 2, an 85 years old man, presented with left scrotal mass for 3 months. All 2 patients underwent orchiectomy. Both of the 2 patients were diagnosed as PT-DLBCL and non-germinal center B-cell (non-GCB) subtype and had Ann Arbor stage ⅠE after operation. Case 1 received only 2 cycles of CHOP (cyclophosphamide, epirubicin, vincristine, prednisone) due to lack of financial support. Case 2 refused chemotherapy and right testis irradiation because of advanced age. They were followed up for 71 months and 12 months, respectively. They were both alive without recurrence at last time of the follow-up. The median age of 44 patients (2 cases in this study and 42 cases reported in the domestic literature) was 64 years old (range 45-87 years old). The most common symptom was unilateral painless testicular swelling (left testis 17 cases and right testis 24 cases). Twenty-one patients were Ann Arbor stage Ⅰ, 6 patients were stage Ⅱ, 6 patients were stage Ⅲ, and 11 patients were stage Ⅳ. Thirty-one patients were non-GCB subtype. Twelve patients were international prognostic index (IPI) score ≥3. Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level was elevated in 13 patients. All patients underwent orchiectomy. CHOP/R-CHOP chemotherapy was given to 40 patients and prophylactic radiation to contralateral testis was given to 12 patients. Twenty-two patients received prophylactic intrathecal chemotherapy. After a median follow-up of 17 months (range 3-135 months), 14 patients died and the median overall survival time was 13 months (range 3-96 months). Conclusions PT-DLBCL is rare. Its diagnosis mainly depends on pathology, with the majority of patients diagnosed in early Ann Arbor clinical stage and non-GCB subtype. The radical orchiectomy and R-CHOP chemotherapy is recommended due to local relapse and systemic dissemination. It is curable in the early stage while patients with advanced stage have a very poor prognosis. Prophylactic radiation to contralateral testis and intrathecal chemotherapy can decrease the risk of recurrence.

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia with Primary Testicular Involvement in a Pre-pubertal Male: A Case Report

Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is the most common malignancy in paediatric patients; its diagnosis is usually easy to establish as malignant lymphoblasts invade the bone marrow and peripheral blood. Patients with Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) may initially present with pancytopenia and a hypoplastic or hyperplastic bone marrow. Fever is common at presentation, and despite neutropenia, sepsis is rarely seen. Other common clinical manifestations include fatigue, pallor, petechiae, bleeding, lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly. Presentation with primarily testicular disease is exceedingly rare in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The unusual presentation of a primary left testicular involvement in ALL is being highlighted in this case report. We present an 11 year old boy who presented with fever, generalized body pain, abdominal discomfort as well as left testicular swelling. Bone marrow studies, Full blood count and peripheral blood film appearance were typical of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Ultrasound findings showed left scrotal enlargement with reduced and coarse parenchymal echotexture, while cytogenetic studies revealed positive Philadelphia chromosomes. There was good response to standard ALL therapy. Clinical remission with normal left testicular size was noted at the end of induction phase of therapy.

Haemangioma of the Testis: A Review and Update of the Literature

Less than 60 cases of haemangiomas of the testis (HOTs) have been reported sporadically in different parts of the world in diverse age groups including in children and adults even though it has been more commonly reported in individuals who are younger than 20 years. HOTs may present with lump/mass in testis/scrotum, scrotal enlargement with or without associated pain/discomfort. The results of serum germ cell tumour marker levels tend to be normal always. The clinical examination does reveal a discrete lump/mass in the testis which may or may not be tender. Radiology imaging does illustrate a discrete mass which usually tends to be well-demarcated but at times the lesion could be abutting the tunica albuginea testis. Doppler scan would tend to show increased vascularity and blood flow within the lesion which may also contain calcifications and at times radiology imaging could illustrate some degree of mild contrast enhancement and these features at times may suggest the possibility of benign disease but malignancy cannot be excluded. An incidental lesion of HOT was identified incidentally in radiology imaging in the absence of a palpable mass/lump. The ideal treatment for HOT is testis-sparing partial orchidectomy which has been undertaken in about a third of cases of HOT reported and radical orchidectomy has been undertaken in two-thirds of cases of HOT under a provisional diagnosis of malignant testicular tumour and the final diagnosis has been based upon the post-operative pathology reports. Diagnosis of HOT tends to be based upon the histopathology examination findings of small tubules with red blood cells that are lined by mesothelial like cells that have uniform vesicular nuclei but they can have focally infiltrative growth pattern with entrapment of seminiferous tubules. Immunohistochemistry staining studies of HOTs do show positive staining for Factor VIII, CD31, CD34, and FLI1 but negative staining for Pancytokeratin AE1/AE3, Keratin 8 / 18, EMA, placental herpesvirus 8, human chorionic gonadotrophin, c-kit, and p53. No recurrence has been reported following either testis-sparing partial orchidectomy after frozen section pathology examination or after radical orchidectomy. If urologist and radiologists have a high index of suspicion for the disease, and intraoperative frozen section excision biopsies are undertaken in all cases of testicular tumours in all age groups with the knowledge of normal levels of germ cell tumour markers then testis-preserving surgery can be undertaken and unnecessary radical orchidectomy can be avoided.
