Abstract

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the scrotum is rare and adenosquamous carcinoma variant of SCC of the
scrotum is very rare. It was the first cancer directly associated with occupational exposure when, in 1775, Percivall
Pott described it in chimney sweeps in England. SCC of the scrotum is a tumor that is of interest for clinical and
historical reasons. Some previous studies indicate that survival of scrotal cancer depends on tumor histology. Surgery
with a negative resection margin offers the best hope of cure as adjunctive therapy has not proved useful. Prognosis
correlates with the extent of nodal involvement. We report a case of a 63-year old Thai farmer. He presented with
a stage A disease, and underwent right hemiscrotectomy.
