RESUMEN
Abstract Primary male genital melanomas are very rare; they are associated with high mortality and late detection. Scrotal melanoma is the least common presentation and only 23 cases have been reported. Herein, the authors present a 30-year-old patient with stage IIIC (T4b, N2a, M0) scrotal melanoma in order to report the characteristics, treatment, and outcome, as well as to emphasize the importance of examination of the genitals, education of patients about self-examination and destigmatizing genital lesions to increase the likelihood of earlier detection.

Seminal vesicle tumor is a rare disease with unclear origin. Generally, it is presented as a pelvic mass that can be detected by sonography and digital rectal exam. The authors report a 25-year-old patient with a pelvic mass which the magnetic resonance and surgical specimen reveal a seminal vesicle tumor. Immunohistochemical findings favored a primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the seminal vesicle. Herein, the treatment, histological and histochemical findings of this entity are discussed.

Relatamos o caso de um paciente homossexual portador do virus da Sindrome da Imunodeficiencia Adquirida e Teratocarcinoma de testiculo, com rapida e fatal evolucao. Este caso de tumor testicular serve para aumentar o quadro de neoplasias infrequentes que ocorrem em pacientes jovens e homossexuais que apresentam anormalidades imunocelulares adquiridas.
