Apocrine carcinoma is a rare tumor of the skin that typically arises in areas rich in apocrine glands. In our report, a 64-year-old man came to the emergency department with a complaint of an enlarging, tender mass in the scrotum growing over the previous 3 months associated with discomfort. Tumor markers were checked, and elevation of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) was found. The patient was initially diagnosed with testicular cancer with infiltration to the scrotum. Wide mass excision with bilateral orchidectomy was performed. Results from histopathological examination revealed an apocrine adenocarcinoma of the scrotum. We report a case of primary apocrine adenocarcinoma of the scrotum initially suspected as testicular cancer.

We describe a surgical technique for robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy, including 3 novel steps to facilitate resection and suturing. This approach minimizes positive surgical margins and the risk of postoperative bleeding. This article describes a retrospective study of a single-surgeon series, including 49 patients. The study approach includes descriptive analysis of the Intraoperative Adverse Incident Classification, analysis of postoperative complications using the Clavien-Dindo Classification, and description of pathological and oncological outcomes. The median operative time was 221 minutes (IQR: 196-263), and the median ischemia time was 20 minutes (IQR: 12-24). Intraoperative Adverse Incident Classification Grade 1 complications occurred in 2 patients (4%). Conversion to open partial nephrectomy was necessary in 1 patient (2%). Postoperative complications were reported in 7 patients (14%). Of these, 3 patients (6%) experienced a Clavien-Dindo Classification Grade 2 complication, 2 patients (4%) experienced a Grade 3a complication, 1 patient (2%) experienced a Grade 3b complication, and 1 patient (2%) experienced a Grade 4a complication. Endovascular coiling and blood transfusion were necessary in 2 patients (4%), and 2 patients (4%) were readmitted. A positive surgical margin was reported in 1 patient (2%). Metastatic relapse occurred in 1 patient (2%) 535 days after surgery who did not have a positive surgical margin. Our novel 3 surgical steps during robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy allow an oncologically safe resection with a low risk of postoperative complications.

We thank the reviewers for providing these editorial comments that highlight the question posed to urologists, the FDA, and patients as to whether ranitidine increases the risk of renal malignancies.1,2 We believe preclinical data and limited population data demonstrate an association between this now-recalled medication and kidney cancer but not causation.3 As this issue spills into the legal system and regulatory bodies, it is incumbent on all the parties involved to carefully evaluate the dynamic stream of information and seek out further answers on this topic.
