Cerebral metastases of testicular malignant lymphomas have been reported. In this case a testicular metastasis secondary to a primary cerebral malignant lymphoma is presented. This unusual case does not correspond to the known metastatic pattern of malignant lymphoma.

background: while young men are at higher risk of developing testicular cancer (tc), testicular-self examination (tse) is an easy, cost effectiveness method to early detection of this disease. the aim of the study was to investigate medical sciences student`s awareness, attitude and self-efficacy about tc and tse. methods: this cross-sectional study was carried out among full time young student...

Testicular germ cell tumors are the most common malignancy among young men. These are highly chemo-sensitive tumors with high cure rates. More than 95% of patients with testicular cancer present with a painless testicular mass. Here we describe a rare initial presentation of testicular cancer in a previously asymptomatic 22-year-old male who presented with widespread metastatic cannonball lesio...

1. None of the extracts examined are very potent in small doses. A noticeable effect, however, is produced upon the blood pressure by the extract of fifteen milligrams of shark testis. 2. A small dose of a five per cent. shark testis extract seems to show more pressor action than a larger dose of the same solution. 3. The fall of blood-pressure is due to a vaso-dilation. 4. After repeated (seve...

We present the case of an 81-year-old patient with testicular metastasis from prostate carcinoma. After the initial diagnosis of prostate cancer, he had an 8-year course of hormonal therapy and showed no clinical evidence of metastasis to other organs. Asymptomatic metastasis of prostate carcinoma to the testis is a rare clinical condition. We diagnosed his condition, based on histopathology fo...

Testis tortion in the newborn (especially antenatal testis tortion) is observed very rarely and constitutes 10-12% of childhood testis tortions. In testis tortion, firm and painless testicular tissue is palpated on physical examination. Doppler ultrasonography is a sensitive method in the diagnosis. In cases of neonatal testis tortion, the testis can be saved with appropriate surgical explorati...

Testicular carcinoid tumours (TCT) account for less than 1% of all testicular neoplasms. A 17-year-old male underwent radical orchiectomy for a painful indurated and increased in size right testicle; a mixed echogenic mass, with a central homogeneous area surrounded by a hypoechoic edge with calcifications was found at ultreasound with increased vascularity at color Doppler examination. Biochem...

results: among 11 patients who underwent surgery consisted of eight males and three females. their metastasis originated from testis tumors (n = 5), renal cell carcinoma (rcc; n = 4), bladder tumor (n = 1), and prostate cancer (n = 1). their mean age was 41.27 years (range, 21-67). the mean age of the patients with rcc and testis tumor at the time of diagnosing metastasis was 54 and 24.8 years,...

background the gonadectomy in patients with androgen insensitivity syndrome (ais) has been conventionally performed using laparotomic techniques. but currently several reports have suggested laparoscopic gonadectomy in these patients because of shorter hospital stay and minimal postoperative pain and hemorrhage. objective to report the laparoscopic gonadectomy in 11 patients suffering from andr...

Received October 2007 Accepted June 2008 INTRODUCTION Leydig cell tumors (LCTs) are the most common stromal tumors, accounting for 3% of all testicular neoplasms.(1) Approximately, 3% of the LCTs are bilateral.(1) They may be hormonally active, leading to either feminizing or virilizing syndromes. About 10% of them are malignant.(1) The diagnosis of a malignant LCT is not always easy, because n...
