Abstract

Eccrine spiradenoma is a rare benign dermal tumor which is usually diagnosed after excision by histopathological results. A few case reports described imaging by ultrasound only. We describe additional magnetic resonance imaging features of scrotal eccrine spiradenoma by different sequences. We report the case of a 67- year- old man presented with a mildly painful intrascrotal swelling that had been increasing in size. The lesion was evaluated with ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, and the diagnosis of eccrine spiradenoma was confirmed by histopathology. The patient underwent surgical removal of the lesion. The patient recovered well and was followed up for 12 months. Scrotal eccrine spiradenoma is a rare tumor and little is known about its imaging features. The combination of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging features may help radiologists to strongly suspect the diagnosis before histopathological confirmation.
