What's the difference between hematocele and hematocoele?
Hematocele
Definition:
(n.) A tumor filled with blood.
Example Sentences:
(1) Ultrasound was 100 per cent accurate in the evaluation of hydroceles, hematoceles, and paratesticular masses, but less informative in testicular abscesses (80%) and epididymo-orchitis (77%).
(2) In the early postoperative period within an observation period from 3 to 19 months the characteristic and rather common complications in patients operated for hydrocele did not occur (hematocele, chylomas, which are mostly of ex vacuo type because of impaired blood supply and lymph system of the scrotum, abscesses, indurations of the scrotal and testicular tissues, relapses of the hydrocele, etc).
(3) Surgical exploration for an enlarging hydrocele and an abnormal scrotal sonogram in a 19-month-old boy revealed a communicating hematocele.
(4) A case of chronic hematocele with calcification of the tunica vaginalis is reported.
(5) The remaining 26 per cent of the cases were owing to idiopathic scrotal edema (8 per cent), epididymitis and orchitis (6 per cent each), and incarcerated hernia and acute hematocele (3 per cent each).
(6) However, because of severe pelvic adhesions or a voluminous hematocele, laparotomy was used in two cases (2%).
(7) In the other cases, ultrasonography showed an hematocele without asserting in all cases the traumatic rupture of the tunica albuginea.
(8) An ectopic tubal pregnancy that undergoes repeated minor ruptures instead of a single episode of rapid bleeding frequently develops into a pelvic hematocele.
(9) We present the ultrasonic diagnoses and treatment of 44 patients with blunt scrotal trauma (rupture of the testis, hematocele, intratesticular hematoma and hematoma of the scrotal layers).
(10) This method of treatment appeared to be successful in 16 patients (72.7%), four of them also having hematocele.
(11) Because hematocele may clinically and sonographically resemble a testicular tumor, the proper management of a complex multiseptated scrotal mass without obvious history suggestive of hematocele is surgical exploration and orchiectomy.
(12) Ten patients with hematoceles associated with blunt trauma have been seen during the last 4 years.
(13) However, histological data indicated that chronic slow bleeding into or through the Dacron velour in contact with the arterial blood serum could account for hemothorax or hematocele formation.
(14) The most common posttraumatic complications are hematoma, hydrocele and hematocele, orchiepididymitis and occasionally malignant degeneration of the injured testis.
(15) The use of ultrasound for evaluation of blunt testicular injury with hematocele allows contusion to be differentiated from rupture, and some authors advocate reserving surgical management for rupture.
(16) Only 2 cases of chronic hematocele have been reported in the Japanese literature.
(17) The hematocele, which contains old blood, clots and gestational tissue, is surrounded by adhesions and is misleadingly called a "chronic" ectopic pregnancy.
(18) In 80 per cent of the cases the hematocele was caused by rupture of the testicle.
(19) The specific pathological lesion of a chronic hematocele consists of several neovascular formations covered by layers of fibrin.
(20) Ultimately the mass proved to be a chronic hematocele, a rare complication of uremic coagulopathy and hemodialysis.
