[Epidermoid carcinoma of the scrotum].
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the therapeutic approach in epidermoid or squamous cell carcinoma of the scrotum, a rare tumor that is of interest for clinical and historical reasons.


RESULTS
A case of epidermoid carcinoma of the scrotum is described. The patient had undergone urethroplasty in 1972, using preputial free graft, according to the technique of Ben Johnson. Right scrotectomy and orchidectomy were performed and partial urethrectomy with inguinal lymphadenectomy 6 weeks later. At 24 months' follow-up, the patient has no tumor recurrence.


CONCLUSIONS
Malignant tumors of the scrotum are rare. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most frequent tumor type. Radical surgery with inguinal lymphadenectomy is the treatment of choice. It must be distinguished from verrucous carcinoma, a tumor that requires a different therapeutic approach and for which radical surgery is not indicated.
