Mixed chronic scrotal pain secondary to piriformis scarring treated with PRF: case report.

Front Med (Lausanne)

August 2025

Department of Anesthesiology, Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shanghai, China.

In the complex pathological context of mixed pain, where nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic mechanisms coexist and interact, we present an innovative diagnostic and therapeutic model for refractory chronic scrotal pain (CSP) in a 49-year-old man. The pain originated from pudendal nerve entrapment secondary to piriformis scarring. Comprehensive evaluation revealed mixed pain mechanisms: neuropathic (lancinating pain, S2-S4 dermatomal hypoesthesia, and MRI-confirmed nerve compression), nociceptive (MRI-documented proven inflammation and mechanical stress exacerbation), and nociplastic (central sensitization with prolonged pain duration and psychological comorbidities).

Background: In response to the opioid epidemic, many surgical specialties have adopted nonopioid pain management strategies. Ultrasound (US)-guided peripheral nerve blocks (PNBs) are effective in reducing pain and opioid consumption postsurgery. Liposomal bupivacaine (LB), shown effective in shoulder surgery, was approved in November 2023 for use in US-guided lower extremity blocks.

Background: Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) is a challenging malignancy characterized by metastatic tumors with an unidentified primary site, even after extensive pathological and radiographic evaluation. Recent advancements in gene expression profiling and comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) using next-generation sequencing (NGS) have enabled the identification of potential tissue origins, thereby facilitating personalized treatment strategies. Although most cases of CUP present as adenocarcinomas or poorly differentiated tumors, the treatment remains largely empirical, with limited success from molecularly tailored therapies.

Background: The liver cone unit (Tokyo 2020 terminology) of the peripheral portal vein territory represents the smallest anatomical and functional unit of the liver. While this unit enables anatomical, subsegmental resection, particularly in patients with cirrhosis, the tumor-bearing cone unit can be challenging to identify intraoperatively. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A 58-year-old man with hepatitis C-related cirrhosis (Child-Pugh B) was diagnosed with a subcapsular hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in segment 8.
