title: Scrotal carcinoma.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We report a rare clinical case of scrotum carcinoma and evaluate its treatment and prognosis.
  
  
  METHODS
  We describe the case of a 62 year old man who presented an ulcerated-bleeding lesion on the right side of the scrotum. The diagnostic tests found carcinoma of the scrotum. We performed surgical radical treatment preserving the left scrotum.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Histological examination showed lesions of well differentiated squamous cell tumor.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  After literature review we conclude that scrotal carcinoma is currently a rare tumor, and even more in cases with industrial exposure to carcinogens. Its incidence has declined greatly and advanced cases requiring radical surgery are rare.
