1/131. neuroblastoma with spermatic cord metastasis in a child: sonographic findings.We report a case of neuroblastoma in a patient who had no involvement of the spermatic cord at diagnosis but who developed spermatic cord metastasis 2 months later. The metastasis appeared on sonography as a hypoechoic, highly vascular, fusiform, hard, 14x10x7 mm mass located in the right inguinal canal and extending into the scrotum. The diagnosis of spermatic cord metastasis was confirmed by resection and histopathologic examination. We recommend that the scrotum and spermatic cord be evaluated by high-resolution sonography in children with neuroblastoma, both at the time of diagnosis and during follow-up.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = cord (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/131. Phaeochromocytoma of the spermatic cord.Phaeochromocytoma of the spermatic cord is very rare. It can arise anywhere in the distribution of cells of neural crest origin, but 80-90% arise in the adrenal medulla and only 3% are extra-abdominal. A small tumour may be asymptomatic because insufficient catecholamines are secreted to cause haemodynamic disturbance.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.625keywords = cord (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/131. Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the spermatic cord: a case report.We present a case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the spermatic cord. An 86-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with a right painless scrotal mass. Under the diagnosis of a testicular tumor, right radical orchiectomy was performed. Grossly, the tumor firmly adhered to the spermatic cord. The right testis and epididymis were normal. The histologic diagnosis was malignant fibrous histiocytoma. There was local recurrence 2 months after surgery. The recurrent tumor was resected with the surrounding soft tissue, but the patient died 5 months after the initial operation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.75keywords = cord (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/131. Paratesticular aggressive fibromatosis: CT findings.Aggressive fibromatoses commonly originate from the musculoskeletal system, mesentery, and retroperitoneum. We report a case of aggressive fibromatosis arising from the spermatic cord. On helical computed tomography, the lesion appeared as a solid mass with well-defined borders in the scrotum and with infiltrative features in the retroperitoneum.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.125keywords = cord (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/131. Ectopic pheochromocytoma arising in the spermatic cord 5 years after removal of bilateral carotid body tumors and adrenal pheochromocytomas.A patient with ectopic pheochromocytoma that developed in the spermatic cord about 5 years after successive resections of bilateral carotid body tumors and bilateral adrenal pheochromocytomas is reported. This is thought to be the first case of pheochromocytoma of the spermatic cord in a setting of multiplicity.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.75keywords = cord (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/131. An adult patient with a mixed germ cell tumor of the spermatic cord.Tumors of the spermatic cord are very rare, and approximately one half of all primary spermatic cord tumors are malignant. We report the presentation and treatment of an adult (36-year-old) patient with a mixed germ cell tumor that originated in the spermatic cord. No similar cases of mixed tumors of the spermatic cord in adults have been reported.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = cord (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/131. spermatic cord metastases from gastric cancer with elevation of serum hCG-beta: a case report.spermatic cord metastases from gastric cancer are rare. We here document a case involving a gastric cancer that mimicked primary testicular tumor because of elevation of the serum human chorionic gonadotropin-beta (hCG-beta). The possibility of metastasis or recurrence of prior malignancies should therefore be considered when the clinical features described here are encountered, although elevation of hCG-beta is rare with tumors other than those in testis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.625keywords = cord (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/131. spermatic cord rhabdomyoma.A 67-year-old man presented with a scrotal swelling. Intraoperatively, this swelling was found to arise from the spermatic cord structures and was completely excised. Histopathology revealed a rhabdomyoma arising from the cord. The patient has had no evidence of recurrence in the past 24 months. We present the various types of rhabdomyomas and discuss the differential diagnosis for a spermatic cord swelling.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.875keywords = cord (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/131. liposarcoma of the spermatic cord.A case of spermatic cord liposarcoma is reported in a 40-year-old man. The clinical presentation, pathogenesis and role of sonography in pre-operative diagnosis is reviewed. The role of radical orchiectomy, retroperitoneal lymph node dissection, radiation therapy and chemotherapy in treatment of spermatic cord liposarcomas is discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.75keywords = cord (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/131. Intrascrotal rhabdomyosarcoma.rhabdomyosarcoma is the most frequent spermatic cord tumor of infants, children, and young adults, but also occurs as a primary tumor in the testis, epididumis, and testicular tunics. In the last fifteen years, 7 patients with intrascrotal rhabdomyosarcoma were treated at our institution, and an additional 155 cases were found on review of the English literature. On the basis of these 162 cases, incidence and survival statistics were calculated with particular attention to employed forms of therapy. An over-all survival of greater than 73 per cent should be obtainable with proper utilization of surgery, radiation therapy, and combination chemotherapy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.125keywords = cord (Clic here for more details about this article) |
