A 63-year-old man presented with a penile mass present only during erections. Radiographic evaluation suggested a vascular lesion but the only abnormality identified at exploration was local attenuation of the tunica albuginea with aneurysmal dilatation of the corpora cavernosa. We believe this to
Perineal hernia in dogs is very problematic and mostly requires surgical reconstruction of the weak pelvic diaphragm. Tissue or synthetic grafts have been used for the correction after failure of the conventional herniorrhaphy. Aim of this clinical trial was to assess the possible use of the
In an effort to reduce shelter intake, Miami-Dade Animal Services (MDAS) Pet Retention Program offers caretakers with an opportunity to have animals treated for certain medical conditions, free of charge. Discovery of new, simple surgical techniques for low-cost procedures provides veterinarians
Paratesticular/scrotal and inguinal canal mass lesions in elderly patients may pose a diagnostic challenge to both the surgeon as well as the pathologist. In most cases, these represent hernial sacs with their contents, and true neoplasms like lipomas, rhabdomyosarcomas, and fibrous pseudotumors are
We report a case of granulomatous reaction to intrascrotal foreign body (vegetable fibers) that presented as an inguinal mass in a patient who had been treated for perforation of the jejunum loop incarcerated in inguinal hernia. To our knowledge a similar case has not been reported in the
OBJECTIVE
To review our experience with the management of malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis with emphasis on disease-related outcomes.
METHODS
A retrospective chart review of patients seen during the past 25 years at our cancer center identified 5 cases of malignant mesothelioma of the
Primary mesotheliomas of the tunica vaginalis testis are very rare malignant tumors. They are generally associated with exposure to asbestos. They may manifest as hydrocele, testis tumor, inguinal hernia, or epididymitis. After differential diagnosis, treatment is primarily surgical. Adjuvant
Malignant mesothelioma arising from the serosal membranes of the tunica vaginalis testis (TVT) is rare. Most examples in the published medical literature are individual case reports. This study presents the clinicopathologic findings of mesothelioma of the TVT in one of the largest series to date.
OBJECTIVE
To report the development of a new method of isolating autologous mesothelial cells from the tunica vaginalis that are easily obtained and generally free from the effects of abdominal cancer, and to investigate whether transplanting these mesothelial cells is effective in preventing
The aim of this study was to determine the tensile strength and the elasticity of the tunica albuginea (TA), and describe morphological structures in the tissue before and after mechanical deformities. Twenty cadavers of men aged between 33 and 83 were examined. Cavernosometry was performed in all
Extratesticular lesions are common incidental findings at ultrasonography (US) among men and boys. Most lesions originate from or depend on the tunica vaginalis, a mesothelium-lined sac with a visceral layer and a parietal layer. The tunica vaginalis is formed when the superior portion of the
