ABSTRACT
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) rupture is a rare complication, with a higher prevalence in countries of Asia and Europe. Its clinical manifestations can be nonspecific, from abdominal pain and bloating to hemodynamic involvement. We report a 70-year-old male patient with a history of chronic liver disease, presenting with an enlargement and ecchymosis of the scrotum, associated with abdominal bloating. The initial abdominal ultrasound study showed increased liquid content in the scrotal sac and regional edema. A CT of the abdomen and pelvis showed a liver mass with characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma, associated with extensive hemoperitoneum that drained into the scrotal sac. The patient was treated with embolization of the right hepatic artery and later with surgical resection of the tumor mass, with a good clinical evolution.

Acute scrotal conditions form a significant proportion of cases in surgical ward. They contribute to significant morbidity in younger age group and mortality in older age group. In this study we have attempted to study the causes, aetiology, prevalence and management of acute scrotal conditions. The prevalence in descending order was Acute epididymo orchitis, Pyocele, Hematocele, Fournier’s gangrene, Acute filarial scrotum, Testicular torsion, Scrotal abscess, Mumps orchitis, scrotal trauma. Of these Epididymo orchitis, mumps orchitis and Filarial scrotum were treated conservatively with antibiotics, rest and scrotal support. Fournier’s gangrene, Scrotal abscess and scrotal trauma with wound debridement and reconstruction. Pyocele and hematocele by incision and evacuation of pus and blood respectively. Testicular torsion is treated by surgical de rotation and B/L orchidopexy. Orchidectomy was done if warranted in hematocele, pyocele, and testicular torsion.
ABSTRACT
La hemorragia suprarrenal neonatal es poco frecuente. Se presenta en el 0,2% de los recién nacidos. El 10% de los casos son bilaterales. Puede estar asociada a un traumatismo al nacimiento, peso alto al nacer o un curso neonatal complicado por hipoxia, asfixia, hipotensión o coagulopatía. El hematoma escrotal es una manifestación extremadamente rara de la hemorragia suprarrenal neonatal. La mayoría de los pacientes presentan tumefacción escrotal con coloración azulada. En los recién nacidos, la tumefacción escrotal, con o sin coloración azulada, puede deberse a diferentes causas. Comunicamos un caso inusual de hemorragia suprarrenal neonatal secundaria a asfixia perinatal, que se manifestó con un hematoma escrotal. El diagnóstico de hemorragia suprarrenal neonatal y hematoma escrotal fue ecográfico; el tratamiento conservador evitó la exploración quirúrgica innecesaria.
Neonatal adrenal hemorrhage is uncommon. It is present in 0,2% of newborns. Ten percent of the cases occur bilaterally. It can be associated with birth trauma, large birth weight, or neonatal course complicated by hypoxia and asphyxia, hypotension, or coagulopathy. Scrotal hematoma is an extremely rare manifestation of NAH. Most patients present scrotal swelling with bluish discolouration. Scrotal swelling with/without bluish discoloration in newborns may result from different causes. We report an unusual case of neonatal adrenal hemorrage secondary to perinatal asphyxia, associated with SH. Neonatal adrenal hemorrhage and scrotal hematoma were diagnosedby ultrasonography and treated by conservative treatment, avoiding unnecessary surgical exploration.

The present study is aimed at describing scrotal collections observed at ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging. The authors describe the main features of hydrocele, hematocele and pyocele, as well as the most common causes, clinical manifestations and associated diseases, with a brief review of the embryology and anatomy of the scrotum. Collections are frequently found in the evaluation of the scrotum, which is often performed on an emergency basis, and in most cases can be differentiated by means of imaging studies. With the consolidation of magnetic resonance imaging as the method of choice complementary with ultrasonography, the authors also describe magnetic resonance imaging findings of scrotal collections as well as the situations where such method is indicated.
O objetivo deste trabalho é descrever coleções na bolsa testicular vistas na ultrassonografia e na ressonância magnética. São descritas as principais características da hidrocele, hematocele e piocele, assim como as causas mais comuns, manifestações clínicas e doenças associadas, com uma breve revisão da embriologia e anatomia da bolsa testicular. Coleções são achados frequentes na avaliação da bolsa testicular, muitas vezes realizada em caráter de urgência, e podem ser diferenciadas por meio de exames de imagem. Com a consolidação da ressonância magnética como exame de escolha em complemento à ultrassonografia, são também descritas as características das coleções escrotais na ressonância magnética, além das indicações para a sua realização.
ABSTRACT
CONTEXT: Bluish discoloration and swelling of the scrotum in newborns can arise from a number of diseases, including torsion of the testes, orchitis, scrotal or testicular edema, hydrocele, inguinal hernia, meconium peritonitis, hematocele, testicular tumor and traumatic hematoma. Forty-two cases of scrotal abnormalities as signs of neonatal adrenal hemorrhage were found in the literature. CASE REPORT: We present a case of scrotal hematoma due to adrenal hemorrhage in a newborn. Conservative treatment with clinical follow-up was adopted, with complete resolution within 10 days. The possible differential diagnoses are reviewed and discussed.
CONTEXTO: Edema e coloração azulada do escroto do recém-nascido podem sugerir uma série de doenças, incluindo torção dos testículos, orquite, edema escrotal e testicular, hidrocele, hérnia inguinal, peritonite meconial, hematocele, tumor testicular e hematoma traumático. Quarenta e dois casos de alterações escrotais como sinal de hemorragia da glândula adrenal foram encontrados na literatura. RELATO DE CASO: Apresentamos um caso de hematoma escrotal devido a hemorragia da glândula adrenal em um recém-nascido. O tratamento adotado foi conservador, com acompanhamento clínico, com resolução completa em 10 dias. Os possíveis diagnósticos diferenciais são revisados e discutidos.
