Case presentation: This was a 62-year-old patient who had consulted for fistulized lesions of the scrotum associated with urinary disorders. Physical examination found budding lesions in the scrotum from which mucus was leaking. The diagnostic assessment carried out consisted of a biopsy sample of the scrotal lesions, a blood analysis and medical imaging, which led to the diagnosis. The mutilating nature of the surgery proposed to the patient after multidisciplinary consultation meeting and the expensive cost of chemotherapy drugs constituted the limits of the patient’s therapeutic management. Conclusion: Mucinous carcinoma of the scrotum is rare and primary lesion should always be sought. The presence of budding lesions of the scrotum with discharge of mucus should suggest the diagnosis.展开更多
