The objective of this study was to determine the appropriate non-linear function describing growth of some testicular traits (testicular length, testicular diameter, scrotal circumference and scrotal length) in Norduz male lambs. Testicular characteristics at 90, 110, 130, 150, 170, and 190 days of age for all the lambs were measured. Four growth (Monomolecular, Logistic, Gompertz, and Richard’...

background : as recently some reported is investigated about relation between cold weather and testicular torsion (tt), so we decided to evaluate this hypothesis risk factor for testicular torsion in our children’s hospital. objectives : the aim of this study is to evaluate the relation between cold weather and testicular torsion in children. methods: from january 2011 todecember 2015 totally h...

background: about 10% to 15% of infertile men have azoospermia, which could be obstructive or non-obstructive. diagnostic biopsy from the testis and recently testicular sperm extraction (tese) are the most precise investigations in these patients. testicular biopsy can be done unilaterally or bilaterally. the worth of unilateral or bilateral testicular biopsy in men with azoospermia is controve...

OBJECTIVE To assess the effects of two methods of freezing on testicular sperm DNA from subjects with obstructive azoospermia and to compare these with samples of fresh and freeze-thawed testicular sperm from fertile men. DESIGN The Comet assay was used to determine the percentage of undamaged DNA in fresh testicular sperm, testicular sperm freeze-thawed in suspension and in a biopsy sample (...

BACKGROUND Most patients with testicular cancer are infertile; thus, the preservation of the sperm after surgery is an important factor to consider. We report two cases of bilateral testicular cancer in patients who underwent bilateral higher orchiectomy and simultaneous testicular sperm extraction. CASE PRESENTATION Two Asian-Japanese men were referred to our hospital with bilateral testicul...

We report a case of intra-abdominal testicular tumor in a 36-year-old married lady presenting with chief complaints of primary amenorrhea. The patient was later diagnosed with testicular feminization syndrome, a form of male pseudohermaphroditism. This testicular tumor was histologically proven as seminoma. Due to rarity, imaging findings in patients with testicular feminization syndrome and in...

Testicular carcinoid generally presents either with a palpable (painful or painless) or rarely a nonpalpable mass (when it is diagnosed incidentally on scrotal imaging) of the involved testis. An ipsilateral testicular carcinoid presenting exclusively with contralateral testicular symptoms has never been described in the literature to date. We report a case of nonpalpable left testicular carcin...

The aberrancies concerning the number, origin and course of the testicular arteries are found in an incidence of approximately 4.7-20% in the literature and are documented less frequently than the respective variations of the homonymous veins. In the current study, a very rare complex of testicular arteries' variations isdescribed, in which the occurrence of bilateral double testicular arteries...

OBJECTIVES To review our 10-year experience with uncommon testicular tumours in children (prepubertal testicular and paratesticular), to review previous reports, and to determine the appropriate management of these rare tumours, specifically the role of testicular-sparing surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed all cases of testicular tumours managed at our institution betwe...

Objectives To compare elastography measurements in men with normal testicular tissue, testicular microlithiasis and testicular cancer. Methods A total of 248 consecutive patients were included. All men provided written informed consent. Testicular stiffness was assessed using shear wave elastography (SWE). Three SWE velocity measurements were assessed in each testicle. The patients were divid...
