Verrucous Plaque With Unusually Large Candida Blastoconidia: A Unique Clinicopathological Presentation of Systemic Mucocutaneous Candidiasis.

2018

Mucocutaneous candidiasis is a common infection affecting both immunocompetent and immunosuppressed individuals. Diversity in the clinical and histopathological presentation of mucocutaneous candidiasis is well known. However, the occurrence of cutaneous verrucous lesions and giant yeast-like structures has been rarely reported. In this article, we describe a case of disseminated mucocutaneous candidiasis in an immunosuppressed patient who presented as a verrucous plaque on the scrotum with giant Candida blastoconidia. This peculiar presentation expands the clinicopathological spectrum of mucocutaneous candidiasis and highlights the wide range of clinical manifestations and great morphologi…

Autosomal recessive truncatingMAB21L1mutation associated with a syndromic scrotal agenesis

2016

We report on a boy with a rare malformative association of scrotum agenesis, ophthalmological anomalies, cerebellar malformation, facial dysmorphism and global development delay. The reported patient was carrying a homozygous frameshift in MAB21L1 detected by whole-exome sequencing, considered as the most likely disease-causing variant. Mab21l1 knockout mice present a strikingly similar malformative association of ophthalmological malformations of the anterior chamber and preputial glands hypoplasia. We hypothesize that MAB21L1 haploinsufficiency cause a previously undescribed syndrome with scrotal agenesis, ophthalmological anomalies, facial dysmorphism and gross psychomotor delay as remar…

Imaging of urinary bladder hernias

2005

Lorenzo E. Bacigalupo1, Michele Bertolotto2, Filippo Barbiera3, Pietro Pavlica4, Roberto Lagalla3, Roberto S. Pozzi Mucelli2, Lorenzo E. Derchi1 Bacigalupo LE, Bertolotte M, Barbiera F, et al. erniation of the urinary bladder is not rare. It is usually considered that 1–3% of all inguinal hernias involve the bladder [1], and Iason [2], in 1944, reported an incidence of 10% in men older than 50 years. Most bladder hernias involve the inguinal and femoral canals, with the latter more frequent in women, and a predilection for the right side has been reported. However, herniations through ischiorectal, obturator, and abdominal wall openings have also been described. Any portion of the bladder m…

Gonadotropic Therapy in Men with Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism

1984

Many therapeutic regimens, differing in dose and duration, have been employed in the treatment of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. This study presents the results from a regimen of hCG plus hMG plus testosterone combined treatment in 15 patients affected by selective hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. The patients were homogeneous in age (16–23 years), testicular size, aspermia, absence of prior hormonal treatment, and normal karyotype. They were administered 5000 IU of hCG plus 75 IU of hMG twice a week for two months and a single dose of depo-testosterone (250 mg) in the third month. This therapeutic plan was carried out continuously for eight three-month cycles (24 months). Sexual maturation a…

Das idiopathische Skrotalödem – eine Differenzialdiagnose des akuten Skrotums

2017

Das akute idiopathische Skrotalodem (AISE) wird als eine seltene Ursache fur das Akute Skrotum angesehen. Nach Ausschluss der haufigeren Ursachen (Hoden- und Hydatidentorsion, Epididymitis, Hernie oder Hydrozele) erlauben die typischen klinischen Symptome und die charakteristischen Befunde bei der Dopplersonografie eine sichere Diagnosestellung, die in den meisten Fallen zur Vermeidung unnotiger Hodenfreilegungen beitragen kann.

A SIMPLE TECHINIQUE TO IMPROVE RESIDUAL SKIN PLASTICITY FOR SCROTAL RECONSTRUCTION IN FOURNIER'S GANGRENE

2012

A 50 years-old man developed 24 hours after hemorrhoidectomy a severe Fournier's gangrene of the scrotum necessitating surgical exeresis of more than 2/3 of scrotal skin followed by hyperbaric oxygen therapy. After the resolution of the septic phase, scrotum reconstruction was obtained by tissue expansion to avoid more invasive advanced reconstructive techniques. The procedure consisted of an enzymatic and mechanical debridement and progressive skin expansion by package of gauzes of increasing volume covered with a collagenasecloramphenicol ointment (Iruxol®- Smith and Nephew, Italy), then closing the wound edges by temporary stitches to put under tension the skin. The reestablishment of th…

Familial Mediterranean fever as an unusual cause of acute scrotum.

2001

Correct preoperative diagnosis is the crucial step in the management of acute scrotum. With the adjunct of color Doppler ultrasound, torsion of testicular appendages, epidydimitis and orchitis as the more common nonsurgical causes are differentiated reliably from testicular torsion or incarcerated inguinal hernia. Less frequently, acute scrotal swelling is the initial symptom of systemic disorders. Leukemic infiltration of the testis or scrotal involvement in vasculitis

Paget's disease of scrotum and penis case report of a re-irradiation and review of the literature.

2020

Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare cutaneous adenocarcinoma generally arising in the anogenital region. Surgery is still considered the treatment of choice for patients with EMPD, while Radiotherapy is a common alternative for inoperable cases and it's necessary in case of lack of surgical radicality. In this article, we described our experience and a review of the literature, with a particular focus on radiation-induced toxicity and on the feasibility of re-irradiation. A 70-year-old patient with EPMD underwent adjuvant radiotherapy in 2015. After 28 months for recurrence another radiant treatment was performed. No G3 (CTCAE v4) toxicity were recorded. In the last follow-up visi…
