Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the scrotum: Outcomes from a specialist center

CONCLUSION: Scrotal SCC is extremely rare in the UK with only 10 primary cases identified in our center over the past 10 years. Surgical resection of the tumor and appropriate inguinal node staging are required due to a high proportion of cases which metastasize to the inguinal lymph nodes.PATIENT SUMMARY: Scrotal cancer is rare. 10 cases were diagnosed over 10 years at a single center. Around half had disease spread to the groin nodes or distant organs at presentation. Surgical resection was required in all patients. At the time of analysis, half of the patients are alive. Due to the rarity and aggressiveness of the cancer, management should be carried out within a specialist center.PMID:37903660 | DOI:10.1016/j.urolonc.2023.08.006
