Abstract Introduction Although the incidence of scrotal malignancies is extremely low Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common scrotal malignancy. Its overall annual incidence is approximately 1.5 per 1,000,000 persons in Western countries. It was first linked to the chronic irritation of scrotal skin by the effect of soot in occurring in chimney sweepers hence known as the first described occupational disease. Occupational scrotal SCC was also later described in association with other occupations with chronic carcinogen exposure including cotton mule spinners, paraffin and tar workers, creosote workers, shale oil workers, lathe workers, pitch workers and machine tool setters and operators. Currently most cases result from poor hygiene and chronic inflammation Objective Herein we present a very rare case of SCC of the scrotum referred to us from Dermatology department Methods This 55 years old male patient was referred from dermatology department. He had no underlying occupational hazard. He has been treated for several months of itchy inflammation of the scrotumfor 6 months. Scrotal punch biosy showed moderately differentiated SCC. Clinically there was malignant scrotal ulcer of 4x3 cm with no palpable inguinal lymph nodes. CT staging confirmed localized tumor with no LN or metastatic deposits. Complete excision with 2 cm safety margin confirmed to be negative by frozen section. Final histopathology come to be moderately differentiated SCC pT2Nx. All margins and underlying Dartos were free of tumor infiltration. Results Complete excision could be achieved with intra-operative negative frozen section. Uneventful post-operative course with complete healing of scrotal wound. Conclusions Although rare, scrotal SCC continues to be serious urogenital malignancy which should be suspected even in the absence of occupational exposure. Cooperation and awareness of Dermatologists is important for early detection and management of such rare malignancy. Complete excision with safety margin is usually sufficient for cure. Inguinal Lymphadenectomy is indicated if grossly infiltrated Disclosure No.
