Leydig cell tumors are rare and represent 1% to 3% of all tumors of the testis. Leydig cell tumors affect males at any age, but there are 2 peak periods of incidence: between 5 and 10 years and between 25 and 35 years. Their main clinical presentation is a testicular mass associated with endocrinal manifestations that are variable according to age and appearance of the tumor. Our patient, a 17-...

Segmental infarction (SI) of the testis is a rare condition that can masquerade as a mass lesion, thus requiring exclusion of tumour. If clinical exams do not exclude a neoplastic lesion with certainty, orchidectomy is usually performed. A case of SI of the testis is presented; the use of frozen section of the enucleated mass demonstrated the ischaemic nature of the lesion, so avoiding orchidec...

We examined the effects of chicken egg hydrolysate (also known as "bone peptide" or BP) on bone metabolism in 5- to 8-month-old orchidectomized dogs. The bone formation marker serum bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP) and the bone resorption marker urine deoxypyridinoline (DPD) were used as indicators to measure changes in bone metabolism. The following results were observed that Serum BAP was high...

Epidermoid cysts of the testis are benign tumor-like intratesticular masses. They are rare, representing less than 1% of all testicular tumors, and approximately 300 cases have been reported in the literature. Treatment of epidermoid cysts is controversial with the traditional treatment being radical orchidectomy. Awareness of this entity and the criteria for differential diagnosis will enhance...

Introduction: Leiomyosarcoma is malignant soft tissue tumor of mesenchymal origin arising from undifferentiated smooth muscle cells. Thera are two types scrotum namely para-testicular and intra-testicular. The Intra testicular relatively rare. Blood vessels or contractile cells the seminiferous tubules believed to be this rare which origin. Objective: Prospective clinical evaluation leiomyosarc...

Introduction Large cell calcifying Sertoli tumors are exceedingly rare. They most commonly benign, but risks for malignancy include older age, larger size of tumor, and solitary tumors. To the author's knowledge, this is first case reported an incidental large tumor when orchidectomy was performed a separate lesion. Case presentation A 31‐year‐old male presented with painless testicular lump. U...

Metastasis of prostate carcinoma to the testis is seldom reported. The tumour may spread from the prostatic urethra by retrograde venous extension, arterial embolism or through direct invasion into the lymphatics and lumen of the vas deferens. Clinical manifestations of secondary testicular tumours from the prostate are most often unsuspected clinically and are instead detected incidentally dur...

BACKGROUND To report the cases of adenomatoid tumors seen at Hospital Universitario La Paz in the last 15 years. METHODS A clinical, pathological, and surgical study was conducted of males with testicular or paratesticular tumors with a histological report of adenomatoid tumor. RESULTS Among the nine cases studied, seven had paratesticular and two intratesticular adenomatoid tumors. Treatme...

for treatments that "give rise to special concern." The secretary of state has chosen not to include goserelin in this category in the revised code of practice coming into effect on 1 November. Had she done so and chemical castration been recommended to Mr K as a treatment for mental disorder, legal recognition of special concern might have approximated such treatment to orchidectomy. But goser...
