RESUMO
PURPOSE: A brief description of laparoscopic orchiectomy for undescended testis and a representative case report. METHODS: A 22-year-old Chinese man was admitted for removal of an intra-abdominal testis. Laparoscopic orchiectomy was used to remove the testis at the time of laparoscopic orchiectomy. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course. RESULTS: A concurrent inguinal hernia was discovered during the procedure and repaired. CONCLUSIONS: The use of laparoscopic surgery has proven to be a safe and effective means of treatment for the intra-abdominal testis.
RESUMO
Perineuromas are generally slow-growing benign tumors composed of perineurial cells. Tumors usually present as a painless nodule in the deep soft tissue. Treatment is complete resection, and previous cases have followed a benign course. The location is commonly the trunk or extremity. We present only the second case of a perineuromal scrotal mass.
