Portability, safety, low cost and efficiency, together with the ability to accurately define pathology rapidly, have made ultrasound the primary imaging modality for evaluation of the scrotum, testis and paratesticular structures. These factors provide for timely diagnosis and treatment. Scrotal ultrasound is particularly helpful when a physical examination is inconclusive or a disease process ...

BACKGROUND Scrotal lymphedema is rare outside endemic filariasis regions in Africa and Asia. It is of variable origin in the western world. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of a 40-year-old European man with massive elephantiasis of the scrotum attributed to chronic inflammation of the lower urinary tract caused by urinary outlet obstruction and diabetes mellitus. The patient underwent sub...

Stallions (n = 8) were implanted with a thermal sensory device in the muscle of the neck and the subcutaneous tissue of the scrotum and then assigned to either a nonexercise (Non-EX; n = 4) or exercise (EX; n = 4) group. A motorized equine exerciser was used to work EX stallions 30 min/d for 4 d/wk during a 12-wk period from July through October 2010. Temperatures (subcutaneous scrotal, intramu...

This study reports the immunohistochemical localization of alpha-smooth muscle actin, cytokeratin, desmin and vimentin cytoskeletal proteins in the abdominal and contralateral scrotal testes of mature and immature spontaneously unilateral cryptorchid West African Dwarf Goats (WADGs). Smooth muscle actin and desmin were co-expressed in the capsule, peritubule and the interstitium of the mature (...
