Sonography, a non-invasive, quick method without biological impact on the gonad, has greatly improved the diagnostic possibilities; it is the gold standard for the male genital system (gonads and genito-urinary tract) and in fact has oriented the prevention interventions [1]. It recognizes almost 100% of scrotal lesions and their solid, liquid or complex nature. It has allowed to overcome the l...

Abstract A 72-year-old male patient who presented with a painless right sided scrotal swelling for few months. History of stage Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) since 2015- under surveillance by hematology team. On examination; 10 X cm hard non-tender right-sided mass, normal left testicle, no peripheral lymphadenopathy or organomegaly. WBC count = 17.5 × 109 /L neutrophils 4.39 & lymphoc...

Measurement of intratesticular sex steroid concentrations in men informs both the development of male hormonal contraceptives and the understanding of male infertility. Given the challenges of using invasive techniques to measure testicular hormone physiology, our group has used a minimally-invasive fine-needle aspiration technique to measure intratesticular hormones in normal healthy men. Here...

To assess the association between adult body size and germ-cell testicular cancer risk and to understand whether this association is independent from perinatal characteristics, a nested case-control study was conducted. Three hundred and seventy-one patients with testicular cancer, registered in the Swedish Cancer Registry between 1958 and 1996 and aged 20-54 years at diagnosis, and 1238 indivi...

INTRODUCTION Extramedullary plasmacytoma is a rare plasma cell neoplasm. Plasmacytomas are most commonly found in the head and neck region, but can occur in many other locations. They rarely occur in the testis, and are commonly associated with concurrent multiple myeloma at the time of diagnosis. Isolated plasmacytoma of the testis is exceedingly rare, with few cases reported in the literature...

The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has recommended against testicular self-examinations (TSE) or clinical examination for testicular cancer screening. However, in this recommendation there was no consideration of the significant fiscal cost of treating advanced disease versus evaluation of benign disease. In this study, a cost-utility validation for TSE was performed. The...
