RESUMO
A 42-year-old previously healthy woman presented with a 2-month history of recurrent fever and painful swelling on the left thigh. She was given a presumptive diagnosis of cellulitis and an antimicrobial. Because the response was not significant and fever remained moderate to high grade, with the appearance of gradually increasing periorbital edema (Figure 1), the diagnosis was reconsidered, and she was referred to a tertiary referral center for further study.

Most scrotum cancers are associated with occupational exposure. We report a case of a squamous cell carcinoma of the scrotum in a patient with a proximal meatus, secondary to mistreated urethral stricture. Based on our observations in this case, we think that chronic urinary inflammation of the scrotal skin may also be considered as a risk factor of scrotal cancer.
