Scrotal carcinoid. Presenting manifestation of multiple lesions in the small intestine.
A middle-aged man presented with a paratesticular carcinoid tumor, his first manifestation of multiple carcinoid tumors of the small bowel. Of the nine carcinoids reported in the English-language literature as metastatic to the scrotum, five simulated a primary lesion. Although the bulk of scrotal carcinoids arise in the testis, the differential diagnosis always should include metastasis from an extrascrotal source.
