Giant tumor of the scrotum: Fibrolipoma

We present the case of a 42-year-old man with a palpable, painless, slow-growing mass, growing over a period of 12 years. The mass was completely extirpated in June 2017 with relative ease from the adjacent structures sparing the penis, testes, and epididymis. The patient's successive postoperative course of care was uneventful, and he was discharged 24 days after the operation. Microscopic examination revealed fibrolipoma. At a 12-month follow-up - and thus one year after the operation - it was determined that the patient was healthy and free from local tumor recurrence. His body mass had diminished to 140 kilograms (before the operation he weighed 167 kilograms). The patient died on January 6, 2022 due to cardiovascular and pulmonary complications after COVID-19 infection without any signs of scrotal tumor recurrence.

Abstract

We present the case of a 42-year-old man with a palpable, painless, slow-growing mass, growing over a period of 12 years. The mass was completely extirpated in June 2017 with relative ease from the adjacent structures sparing the penis, testes, and epididymis. The patient's successive postoperative course of care was uneventful, and he was discharged 24 days after the operation. Microscopic examination revealed fibrolipoma. At a 12-month follow-up - and thus one year after the operation - it was determined that the patient was healthy and free from local tumor recurrence. His body mass had diminished to 140 kilograms (before the operation he weighed 167 kilograms). The patient died on January 6, 2022 due to cardiovascular and pulmonary complications after COVID-19 infection without any signs of scrotal tumor recurrence.
