Abstract

Objective: To discuss the treatment of the scrotal vein malformation in teenagers and clinical efficacy.<br />Methods: 32 cases with the local and diffuse scrotal vein malformation were retrospectively analyzed. 31 cases underwent local injection with 40% urea before resection. The urea was injected locally into tumor through multi-points within 30 seconds, 2-6 ml every time, one time a day. The injection was performed for 5-12 days. The treatment was refused in one case. The therapeutic effect and cosmetic result were recorded.<br />Results: The tumors were removed radically in 28 cases including one operation in 25 cases and secondary operation in 3 cases. The patients were followed up for 1-3 years with no recurrence. Cosmetic result with bilaterally symmetric scrotum was satisfactory. The tumors in 3 severe cases were partially resected with improvement.<br />Conclusions: Combined treatment with urea injection and surgical procedure can effectively treat the scrotal vein malformation with satisfactory result.
