AB  - Testicular cancer, which generally presents as a scrotal
mass of variable sizes, is amongst the most common
malignancies in men in the 15- to 35- year age group.
A high inguinal orchiectomy is the standard approach
for removal of a scrotal mass suspicious of being
malignant. A recent report described a combined use of an inguinal incision, for early clamping of the
spermatic cord, and a scrotal incision for orchiectomy
of a large size testicular seminoma.1 We hereby report
a case of a large size testis cancer removed using a
single oblique inguinoscrotal incision. This approach
allows inguinal delivery of a large size of scrotal mass
without additional concerns of scrotal tumor spillage
and violation of tunica vaginalis.
