BACKGROUND Primary testicular angiosarcomas are extremely rare, and their clinicopathologic features are not well described. Our objective was to further define the clinical features and pathologic spectra of primary testicular angiosarcomas. METHODS Six previously reported case reports were identified in the English language medical literature using MEDLINE and a subsequent bibliographic sea...

Testicular cancer has become a model for a curable neoplasm. Our studies with cisplatin combination chemotherapy allow us to conclude that: (a) short-duration intensive induction therapy with the most active agents in optimal dosage is more important than maintenance therapy; (b) modest dose escalation increases toxicity without improving therapeutic efficacy; (c) it is possible to develop cura...

Introduction While genitourinary tuberculosis (GUTB) accounts for up to 30% of extrapulmonary TB, epididymal involve ment accounts for only about 20% of GUTB1,2. Only a paucity of cases regarding epididymo-orchitis and scrotal involvement without renal or pulmonary involvement has been reported until today3–5. Clinical manifestations of this rare situation are variable and may include fever, in...

Testicular germ cell tumors, though rare (1%), represent the most common neoplasm among young men. Gastrointestinal involvement from these malignancies usually presents as bowel obstruction and digestive bleeding, but their frequency is low (5%). The patterns of this involvement are: infiltration from affected retroperitoneal lymph nodes or, less frequently, by peritoneal seeding and direct hem...

A rare case is presented where a dysgenetic testis with microinvasive carcinoma in situ (CIS, also known as intratubular germ cell neoplasm of unclassified type [IGCNU] and testicular intraepithelial neoplasia [TIN]) with microinvasion to rete testis and the interstitial tissue was found in a 32-year-old man presenting with mild scrotal pain and ultrasonic testicular microlithiasis. Knowledge o...

A 1-month-old infant presented with a case of calcifying chronic epididymitis. Differential diagnosis was made from a testicular torsion and neoplasm. Serial ultrasound examination revealed a calcified lesion adjacent to the normal testis, thereby avoiding an unnecessary orchiectomy. Infantile epididymitis has been thought to be rare; however, it is occasionally encountered in the literature an...

OBJECTIVE We present the case of a patient with testicular plasmacytoma as initial presentation of multiple myeloma, and we carry out a literature review of this uncommon pathology. METHODS 63 year-old male who consulted for a testicular mass for three months. After clinical and diagnostic studies he underwent radical orchiectomy. RESULTS Pathologic study of the specimen revealed the presen...

Adenocarcinoma of the rete testis is an exceptionally rare and malignant testicular neoplasm. Although treatment of pregnant women with diethylstilbestrol (DES) results in reproductive tract abnormalities in their male offspring, increased incidence of testicular tumors has not been verified. However, recently three cases of seminoma have been described in men prenatally exposed to DES, suggest...

We present a case of a 52-year-old Caucasian male who underwent a laparoscopic nephrectomy for an atrophic kidney and was found to have two unexpected, synchronous kidney cancers. He had a remote history of testicular cancer complicated by lymphadenopathy and external ureteral compression. Over time, he developed an atrophic left kidney from obstructive uropathy. Years later, due to flank pain ...
