DescriptionCarcinoma of the skin of the scrotum
The preparation is a portion of scrotal sking, showing a carcinoma.
From a male chimney-sweep aged 29 years.
The margin of the ulcer is irregular, prominent, rounded and in parts everted, and the floor is uneven and necrotic. There is now no soot pigmentation. Microscopic examination shows the base of the ulcer invaded by columns of epithelium with cell-negt formation. The surface for a considerable distance around the ulcer shows epithelial projections into the corium and the sebaceous glands are much enlarged. There are collections of inflammatory cells around the penetrating processes and the vessels in the deeper parts show thickening of the tunica intima.
