3. DiscussionScrotal lipomas, although rare, are the most common benign intra scrotal neoplasms. Leyson et al. proposed a classification of these tumors in two broad categories (paratesticular and extratesticular) with many subdivisions, according to their site of origin. 3 Another more practical classification was described by Minami. 4 He divided intrascrotal lipomas into three types:(a) those originating from the subcutaneous tissue posterior to the spermatic cord, which spread into the scrotum and are called scrotal lipomas,(b) those arising from the fat tissue within or outside the spermatic cord, which develop in the spermatic cord and are called spermatic cord and tunica vaginalis tumors and (c) those originating from fat lobules of the dartos tunica of the scrotum which are rarely seen and called primary scrotal lipomas. This latter classification seems easier to adopt and according to this our lipoma should be classified as a scrotal lipoma.
