RESUMEN
A myxoma is a benign intramuscular gelatinous tumor that is rarely known to arise from the scrotum. It can be confused both clinically and radiologically with other more common scrotal wall lesions such as a sebaceous cyst or an abscess. We report a case of a 54-year-old patient who presented with a scrotal wall swelling that was initially suspected to be an infected cyst or cold abscess on imaging. The final diagnosis of a myxoma was made after surgical excision and histopathological examination.
RESUMEN
Cases of acute scrotum presenting to the emergency department are usually due to testicular torsion, complicated hernia, or epididymo-orchitis. Thrombosis of the spermatic vein is an uncommon entity and most of the cases reported to date are of unilateral involvement. Here, we present an extremely rare case of spontaneous bilateral spermatic vein thrombosis, which was diagnosed by a Doppler ultrasound of the testes. This article highlights its clinical presentation, radiological imaging, etiology, and management.

This report describes a case of papillary carcinoma arising from a thyroglossal duct cyst (TDC) in a young woman. Imaging showed a heterogeneous cystic lesion at the level of the hyoid, with calcifications and enhancing septae. We compared the USG, CT scan, and MRI findings with those reported previously in literature and we conclude that the presence of a midline cystic lesion with calcification in a young adult should arouse suspicion of papillary carcinoma in a TDC.
