1. Clinical History A 41 year-old male presented to his primary care provider for prostate screening. The patient had a history of hypogonadism and low testosterone, as well as a family history of prostate cancer. Physical exam demonstrated significant left scrotal swelling. Palpation of the right testicle was normal. Palpation of the left testicle was limited secondary to scrotal swelling. A s...

This report is of a patient with isolated tuberculous epididymitis presenting with a scrotal tumor. A 65-year-old man presented with a rapidly growing, painless mass over his right testicle. A non-tender indurated tumor was identified in the right hemi-scrotum. Digital rectal examination detected a moderately enlarged, elastic prostate that was consistent with benign prostatic hyperplasia. Urin...

A 16-year-old male presented with a sudden, severe right scrotal pain at rest, occurred within the last 2 hours. The patient had a history of right orchidopexy 12 months ago. There was no associated fever, injury, or sports activity. Clinical examination and color-Doppler ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of testicular torsion, with the absence of intraparenchymal blood flow. The patient was s...

In this study we examined the mechanism of action of Dieldrin on the reproductive function in adult male rats. Experimental data suggest that exposure to pesticide at 3 and 6mg/kg/day for 10 consecutive days, induced a dose-dependant decrease of the number and the mobility of epididymal spermatozoa. Testicle histological analysis shows alteration of spermatogenesis with marked reduce of gametes...

Introduction Acute scrotal pain with or without swelling and erythema in the child or adolescent male should be treated as an emergent condition. The differential diagnosis includes: torsion of the spermatic cord, appendix testis or epididymis, epididymitis/orchitis, hernia, hydrocele, trauma, sexual abuse, tumor, idiopathic scrotal edema (dermatitis/insect bite), cellulitis, and vasculitis (He...

A successful laparoscopic-assisted cryptorchidectomy is reported in a novel species, the reindeer (Rangifer tarandus). The procedure was performed in an 8-year-old adult positioned in dorsolateral oblique recumbency, with an open approach midline subumbilical placement of the primary 10 mm optical port and carbon dioxide insufflation at 12 mmHg. Three 5 mm instrument ports were inserted under v...

Extragonadal germ cell tumors are extremely rare and account for only 3%-5% of all germ cell tumors. These tumors are rarely associated with metachronous primary testicular germ cell tumors. We report the fourth case of a primary germ cell tumor occurring after the treatment of a primary CNS germ cell tumor in a 27 year-old male with embryonal cell carcinoma of the testicle 9 years after the tr...
