title: [Giant intrascrotal lipoma: a case report].
abstract: A case of giant intrascrotal lipoma is presented. The patient was a 72-year-old man with the chief complaint of painless swelling in the scrotum which had been noticed about 10 years previously. In the right scrotum, an elastic soft mass with negative transillumination was palpated. Ultrasonography and X-ray film demonstrated that it was solid mass. Under the diagnosis of intrascrotal tumor, an operation was performed. As the testis, epididymis, and spermatic cord was intact, the tumor was removed. The pathological diagnosis of the tumor was a well-capsulated benign lipoma. Including the present case, 29 Japanese cases of intrascrotal lipoma are reviewed.
