A Case of Scrotal Cancer
Abstract
- We presented a case of non-occupational scrotal cancer in 66-year-old male. He was a farmer and did not contact with any known carcinogen on past history. He had several erythematous walnut-sized nodules on scrotum and diffuse oozing erythema on penoscrotal and hoth crural areas. And his sclera was icteric and liver was palpable to the 3-flnger-breadth from the costal margin and had hard consistency and nodular surface. Spleen was palpable to the 4-finger-breadth. On laboratorary exarninations marked liver furtction impairment was noted. On histologic examinations of biopsied scrotal skin and ingoiaal lymyhnode undifferentiated squamous cell carcinoma was noted. On the 5th day of admission he became dull and irritable and tbe condition was deteriorated from day to day. At that time blood ammonia level was elevated to 140.63mcg% He was discharged in comatose state without any treatrnent for the scrotal cancer itself and died 4 days later.
