Incarcerated İntestine by Testicular Mass in Huge Scrotum: A Case Report
Downloads
Large testicular tumor is not a commonly seen entity in the modern era. While treatment of large testicular tumors is via inguinal radical orchiectomy, large testicular tumors carry the dilemma of delivering these large masses via the inguinal or scrotal approach.
Our case was a 90 years old man with obstruction signs and huge scrotum that shows incarcerated large bowel with huge testicular mass, that in his surgery we did Radical Orchiectomy and we replace incarcerated Large Bowel in scrotum and discharge him successfully. Giant testicular cancer is considered one of the largest testicular masses in the world. Delayed seeking medical advice and appropriate management is the major cause behind this rare presentation. Increasing the awareness regarding self-examination and eliminating the stigma is the cornerstone to markedly reduce this type of unusual presentation since any testicular size change and mass can be easily noted by the patient.
Surgical exploration and adjuvant chemotherapy seems as a reasonable treatment option in the setting of bilateral intra-abdominal testis tumor in an adult patient. The study underscores the effectiveness of the intervention in promoting preventive behaviours against testicular cancer among university students, laying the groundwork for future educational initiatives. Although testicular cancer (TC) is the most common malignancy in males between the ages of 18 and 50 years, little effort has been made to increase public awareness about TC and testicular self-examinations (TSEs). Intestinal obstruction without a past surgical history of abdominal surgeries or trauma is a rare and challenging clinical situation. This case report describes the presentation, diagnosis, and management of intestinal obstruction in a patient with an uncommon aetiology of small bowel obstruction. Chronic hernia incarceration can lead to weakening and ischemia of the bowel, and minimal trauma can lead to perforation of the weakened segment. In such presentations, bowel resection and repair of the defect with a biological material is safe and feasible
