CARCINOMA SCROTUM - A RARE CASE REPORT

Abstract

Carcinoma in the scrotum is a very rare
occurrence in these days since the occupation
related to its high incidence in earlier
days were withdrawn. This disease
has a very poor survival rate because of
the late presentation, by the time metastasis
would have occurred.Forty two
years old male patient presented to our
surgical OPD with ulceroproliferative lesion
on right side of the scrotum with history
of right orchidectomy three months
back. He was also having urethrocutaneous
fistula on the ventral surface of the
penis. Total Scrotectomy and Emasculation
with two centimetre margin clearance
all around with primary closure and
permanent Supra pubic cystostomy and
bladder drainage was performed. Post
operatively patient was advised adjuvanct
chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Squamous cell carcinoma of the
scrotum is the commonest histological
variety of the malignancies of the scrotum.
Surgical excision is the treatment of
choice.
Overall this malignancy has a poor survival
rate.
