    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Accurate intraoperative diagnosis of benign scrotal masses through frozen section analysis enables surgeons to perform local excision, avoiding unnecessary orchiectomy in patients with solid scrotal lesions.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Solid scrotal masses require surgical exploration to differentiate between benign and malignant conditions.
    • Benign scrotal lesions can often be treated with less invasive procedures than orchiectomy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of intraoperative frozen section analysis in guiding surgical management of solid scrotal masses.
    • To determine the proportion of benign lesions and their appropriate surgical treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of surgical and pathological records of 90 patients undergoing exploration for solid scrotal masses over 5 years.
    • Review of intraoperative frozen section findings and final pathological diagnoses.
    • Assessment of surgical outcomes, including local excision versus orchiectomy.

    Main Results:

    • Sixteen of 90 patients (17.8%) had benign scrotal lesions.
    • Common benign lesions included adenomatoid tumors (10), fibrous pseudotumors (3), fibromas (2), and dermoid cysts (1).
    • Twelve patients with benign lesions underwent local excision, while 4 underwent orchiectomy.

    Conclusions:

    • Intraoperative frozen section examination aids in accurate identification of benign scrotal lesions.
    • Accurate intraoperative diagnosis facilitates the decision for local excision, thereby avoiding unnecessary orchiectomy.
    • Understanding benign intrascrotal lesions is crucial for appropriate surgical management.
