| Core Tip |
Intrascrotal tumors are common male reproductive system-related tumors and are mostly primary tumors. In this case, the tumor in the scrotum of the patient was not a primary tumor of the scrotum or a metastatic lesion of other tumors. Instead, a primary lesion of the greater omentum fibroma in the abdominal cavity was completely displaced to the scrotum, which is a rare occurrence. We searched the studies included in PubMed since 2011 and found four similar reports of fibromas herniating into the scrotum, originating from the greater omentum, mesentery, and appendix. Analysis showed that the patients’ tumor activity was high, and all patients also had an inguinal hernia, which was the basis of the disease. This case reminds us that even the most common diseases may have various unexpected situations, and it is necessary to conduct detailed inquiries and physical examinations on the patient and complete relevant preoperative examinations and tests to avoid misdiagnosis. When the patient's condition is complex, multidisciplinary joint diagnosis and treatment are needed to choose the most suitable treatment method. |
