Introduction

Malign neoplasm male genital other is a condition characterized by the presence of cancerous cells in the male genital area, excluding the penis and testicles. This includes cancers of the scrotum, epididymis, and other parts of the male genitalia[1]. This condition is significant as it can lead to serious complications and requires timely diagnosis and treatment. The aim of this guide is to provide healthcare professionals with a comprehensive overview of the diagnostic steps and possible interventions for Malign neoplasm male genital other, in order to improve patient outcomes.

Codes

  • ICPC-2 Code: Y78 Malignant neoplasm male genital other[2]
  • ICD-10 Code: C63.9 Malignant neoplasm of male genital organ, unspecified[3]

Symptoms

  • Lump or swelling in the scrotum or groin area
  • Pain or discomfort in the scrotum or groin area
  • Changes in the skin of the scrotum, such as redness or scaling
  • Enlarged lymph nodes in the groin area
  • Blood in the urine or semen
  • Erectile dysfunction or other changes in sexual function[4]

Causes

  • Exposure to certain chemicals or toxins, such as those found in some workplaces
  • Chronic inflammation or infection in the genital area
  • Family history of genital cancer
  • Genetic mutations that increase the risk of cancer[5]

Diagnostic Steps

Medical History

  • Obtain a detailed medical history, including information about the patient’s symptoms, risk factors, and any previous diagnoses of cancer.
  • Ask about the patient’s occupation and exposure to chemicals or toxins that may increase the risk of genital cancer.
  • Inquire about any family history of cancer, particularly genital cancer[6].

Physical Examination

  • Perform a thorough physical examination of the scrotum, groin area, and other parts of the male genitalia.
  • Look for any lumps, swelling, or changes in the skin.
  • Palpate the lymph nodes in the groin area for any enlargement or tenderness[7].

Laboratory Tests

  • Blood tests:
    • Complete blood count (CBC) to assess for any abnormalities, such as anemia or infection.
    • Tumor markers, such as alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG), may be elevated in certain types of genital cancer.
  • Urine tests:
    • Urinalysis to check for the presence of blood or other abnormalities.
  • Biopsy:
    • A tissue sample may be taken from the affected area for further analysis to confirm the diagnosis of malign neoplasm male genital other[8].

Diagnostic Imaging

  • Ultrasound:
    • Used to visualize the scrotum and other parts of the male genitalia to assess for any abnormalities, such as tumors or cysts.
  • CT scan or MRI:
    • These imaging modalities may be used to obtain more detailed images of the affected area and to determine the extent of the cancer.
  • Chest X-ray:
    • To check for any signs of metastasis to the lungs[9].

Other Tests

  • Lymph node biopsy:
    • If enlarged lymph nodes are found in the groin area, a biopsy may be performed to determine if the cancer has spread.
  • Genetic testing:
    • In some cases, genetic testing may be done to identify specific genetic mutations that increase the risk of genital cancer[10].

Follow-up and Patient Education

  • Schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor the patient’s condition and response to treatment.
  • Provide the patient with information about the importance of self-examination and early detection of any changes in the genital area.
  • Educate the patient about the potential side effects of treatment and the importance of adhering to the prescribed regimen.
