Cancer of the scrotum is of special interest, despite its relative infrequency, because of its surprising virulence and also by virtue of its historical importance. This was the first known occupational cancer and showed the need for research involving potential environmental carcinogens. No one individual has sufficient experience to randomize patients to different methods of treatment, and the disease is becoming even less common. Therefore, recommendations are often based on compilations from the literature, many reports being fifty to one hundred fifty years old. This report reviews the clinical features of scrotal malignancies and the forty-five-year experience with this disease at the University of Iowa.
