Extract of rat, rabbit or bull testicle prevents or retards the growth of a rabbit tumor when a mixture of the extract and a tumor cell suspension is inoculated intradermally. Similar mixtures, made with normal rabbit serum instead of testicle extract, give rise to tumors which grow with unusual rapidity. The results are the opposite of those obtained with pathogenic bacteria or filtrable virus...

Introduction: Perinatal testicular torsion is not a frequent, but a grave finding finding. As only immediate surgical retorsion may save the viability of the testicle, time is of essence. We report the case of a newborn where delayed diagnosis led to an unnecessary loss of one testicle. Presentation of Case: The newborn was presented one day after delivery with a swollen left blue scrotal pouch...

The observation that testicle extract markedly enhances the infectivity of certain viruses and bacteria, reported by one of us (DuranReynals (1)) has been confirmed and extended by a number of investigators (2). I t has been further shown that testicle extract exerts an inhibitory influence on the growth of a transplantable epithelioma of the rabbit (3) and to a less extent on a sarcoma of the ...

Brain and testicle tissue from immune rabbits brought in contact with the Levaditi or Noguchi strains of vaccine virus will fix or inactivate the virus. Extracts of normal testicles from susceptible animals enhance to an extraordinary degree the infectivity of both the neuro- and dermal strains of vaccine virus. The Noguchi virus is not affected by testicle extracts when injected into the skin,...

BACKGROUND Re-do Orchidopexy is not very common, expertise is limited and the results of clinical examination and ultrasonography are not always reliable. METHODS This cross-sectional study was based on medical records of patients under-going re-exploration of inguinal region for a missing testicle after previous groin surgery, and no mention of orchidectomy. All patients were thoroughly exam...

BACKGROUND Extravaginal testicular torsion (ETT), also called prenatal or perinatal, occurs prenatally and is present at birth or appears within the first month of life. It has different etiology than intravaginal torsion, which appears later in life. Testicular torsion must be taken into consideration in differential diagnosis of acute scrotum and should be confirmed or ruled out at first diag...

A patient with bilateral cryptorchism had ectopic splenic tissue adherent to his left testicle and an adrenal cortical rest adherent to his right testicle. The embrylogic basis for these disorders is discussed and the literature reviewed.

A 53-year-old Caucasian male underwent laparoscopic total extraperitoneal repair of a right indirect inguinal hernia. Postoperatively, the patient developed right testicular swelling and pain that increased over the course of a week. On examination, the patient was found to have a tender, swollen, high-riding testicle, and testicular torsion was of main concern. Doppler sonography and testicula...

BACKGROUND Granulosa cell tumor of the testis is a rare intermediate stromal cell tumor that can be distinguished in the adult and juvenile type. The juvenile type is the most common reason for scrotal swelling in newborns under the age of six months. Less than fifty cases of this disease entity have been reported in the literature. PATIENTS AND METHODS In the following article, two newborn p...

We report a 27 -year-old male referred because of hypergonadotropic hypogonadism with low testosterone and azoospermia. At 23 years age, he underwent an excision hypoechoic 0.7 cm nodule the left testicle. The pathological diagnosis was Leydig cell tumor. In right testicle, there were three nodules at ultrasound, biggest measuring 0.6 cm. Four later, in testicle still present larger excised. bi...
