Chronic orchialgia is a difficult and frustrating condition for both the patient and clinician. Determining appropriate course of therapy should require extensive conservative measures and consideration of alternative surgical options prior to concluding an orchiectomy is warranted. This manuscript aims to provide the clinician with the information currently available to determine if the antici...

Cryptorchidism is a term used to describe the failure of descent of the testicle into the scrotum. This condition is common among premature boys, 33% of them, and can still be identified in full-term boys in approximately 5%. Ultrasonography can help localize inguinal testicles, while abdominal magnetic resonance imaging or laparoscopy can identify non-palpable intraabdominal testis. Hormonal t...

1. Rabbits can be infected in the testicle with the spirochetae of yaws as well as with those of syphilis and the infection can be continued through successive generations in pure culture. 2. The infection shows itself by enlargement of the testicle and the presence of a nodule varying in size from that of a pea to that of an olive. The infection consists in a necrosis of the tubules, an infilt...

The testicle was enlarged, very tender, but not particularly painful. He attributed the disease to a crush between his legs in getting out of bed. Under Epsom salts and tartar emetic it was quite well in about a couple of days, but the fever instead of subsiding now assumed an intermittent (tertian) type. This continued until the 5th January, about a week, when the other testicle became inflame...

In this case study, we report the use of manual physical therapy in a pediatric patient experiencing complications from a life-threatening motor vehicle accident that necessitated 19 surgeries over the course of 12 months. Post-surgical adhesions decreased the patient's quality of life. He developed multiple medical conditions including recurrent partial bowel obstructions and an ascending test...

Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a systemic vasculitis which may result in thrombosis or aneurysm formation in any organ of the body. We report a case polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) resulting in bilateral asynchronous testicular necrosis. A 55-year-old male developed acute onset of left testicular pain resulting in a left orchiectomy and right orchidopexy for an ischemic left testicle without evidence...

Lymphoma, particularly non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, may occur in sites other than the lymph nodes, i.e., extranodal lymphoma, which occurs in approximately 40% of total lymphoma cases. However, simultaneous detection of multiple extranodal involvements at presentation is quite uncommon. Here, we report a rare case of a 55-year-old Chinese man with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the left testicle and bila...
