BACKGROUND Late relapses of testicular germ cell tumor are uncommon. We report a case of cervical mature teratoma appeared 17 years after treatment of testicular teratocarcinoma. CASE PRESENTATION A 20-year-old patient underwent left sided orchiectomy followed by systemic therapy and retroperitoneal residual mass resection in 1989. He remained in complete remission for 200 months. In 2005 a h...

Sarcoidosis rarely involves the testicle. Seven cases detected clinically were described in a review in 1986,1 and additional cases have been discovered on autopsy. Sarcoidosis involving the epididymis is a little more common, being found in somewhat less than 1 percent of all men with the disease. 1 We report a case of testicular sarcoidosis diagnosed after orchiectomy in a previously healthy ...

Coccidioides immitis is a ubiquitous fungal pathogen endemic to the southwest and western United States. Clinical coccidioidomycosis is usually restricted to the respiratory tract and extrapulmonary involvement accounts for less than 1% of reported cases.1 Involvement of the genitourinary tract is usually asymptomatic and discovered post mortem in patients with disseminated coccidioidomycosis.2...

Received: Revised: Accepted: Published online: August 07, 2016 December 16, 2016 December 28, 2016 January 16, 2017 Reports of testicular leiomyosarcoma are extremely rare in the veterinary literature. Here we report a case of testicular leiomyosarcoma occurring in a 32-weeks-old male senescence marker protein 30 (SMP30) knockout mouse. Grossly, a testicular mass completely replaced the right t...

BACKGROUND The acute scrotum is a medical emergency . The acute scrotum is defined as scrotal pain, swelling, and redness of acute onset. Scrotal abnormalities can be divided into three groups , which are extra-testicular lesion, intra-testicular lesion and trauma. This is a retrospective analysis of 164 ultrasound examination performed in patient arriving in the emergency room for scrotal pain...

INTRODUCTION Isolated tuberculous epididymo-orchitis may closely mimic testicular tumour particularly in patients with no history of systemic TB thereby presenting a diagnostic and treatment challenges. CASE REPORT A 44-year old man presented with 4 months history of left scrotal mass and had left orchidectomy following a presumptive diagnosis of testicular tumour. Histopathological diagnosis...

A case of testicular plasmacytoma, a very rare neoplasm, is presented. The gray-scale and power Doppler sonographic findings are illustrated. The lesion appeared as a hypoechoic, intratesticular mass that was markedly hypervascular. When marked hypervascularity is present in a testicular mass in a patient unlikely to have orchitis on clinical grounds, plasmacytoma should be considered in the di...

Splenogonadal fusion (SGF) is a rare cause of testicular mass with the vast majority of cases presenting in men under the age of 30 and represents a diagnostic challenge. Discontinuous splenogonadal fusion presenting as a new testicular mass in a 55-year-old man is discussed to aid other surgeons in diagnosing this condition.

Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL, Lipe, E.C.3.1.1.3) is a multifunctional fatty acyl esterase that is essential for male fertility and spermatogenesis and that also plays important roles in the function of adipocytes, pancreatic beta-cells, and adrenal cortical cells. Gene-targeted HSL-deficient (HSL-/-) male mice are infertile, have a 2-fold reduction in testicular mass, a 2-fold elevation of the...

Testicular fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is widely being used in humans to evaluate the functional testicular mechanism, but its application is very limited in animals especially breeding bulls. This preliminary study was conducted to assess the effect of testicular fine needle aspiration (FNA) technique on testicular biometry and seminal characteristics in Karan Fries crossbred bulls....
