RESUMEN
Infertility is defined as inability to conceive despite regular unprotected sexual intercourse for greater than 1 year. Conditions involving the male partner accounts for the infertility in approximately 50% of cases. The goals of imaging in male infertility are to detect treatable/ reversible causes, imaging for sperm retrieval from testis or epididymis for assisted reproductive techniques like in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection and to provide appropriate genetic counselling for prevention of occurrence of disease in future offspring. The purpose of this article is to describe imaging features in various causes of male infertility to acquaint radiologists with various imaging appearances of causes of male infertility to avoid missing these pathologies.

Lymphoedema is a chronic debilitating condition characterised by diffuse swelling caused by lymphatic obstruction. The secondary form of lymphoedema is more common than the primary form. Untreated filariasis remains an important cause of lymphoedema in developing countries. The most common complication of chronic lymphoedema is cellulitis. It is also a risk factor for the development of neoplasms such as lymphangiosarcoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, lymphoma and malignant fibrous histiocytoma. We report a case of a woman in her 60s who developed squamous cell carcinoma in the background of chronic lymphoedema.
