Abstract
We report a case of scrotum with inguinal lymph node metastasis which was successfully treated by multidisciplinary modalities including combination chemotherapy and radiotherapy. A 60-year-old man was admitted with ulcerative induration of the scrotum and inguinal lymph node swelling. Biopsy of the scrotal skin showed squamous cell carcinoma. He received 4 courses of combination chemotherapy with methotrexate, bleomycin and cisplatin. The primary lesion disappeared macroscopically and metastatic lymphadenopathy showed 50% reduction in size. Both lesions were further treated with radiotherapy (60 Gy). Because the primary lesion became ulcerative 7 months after irradiation, partial resection of the scrotum was performed. He has been free of recurrence 22 months after chemotherapy.Entities:
