VIII.—Tuberculous Left Epididymis

Colonic carcinoma metastatic to the left testis, epididymis & spermatic cord

836 Fig. 1. Histopathological examination revealed the colonic signet-ring cell carcinoma (arrow) (Hematoxylin-eosin staining; original magnification×200). Fig. 2A. CT showed the only hydrocele of tunica vaginalis (thin arrow) and the normal shape of testis (thick arrow) in the left scrotum during December 2010. Fig. 2B. CT showed a 6.8×4.5cm mixed density mass shadow with ill-defined margin in...

A case of descending colon carcinoma metastasized to left spermatic cord, testis, and epididymis

We report a case of descending colon carcinoma metastasized to the left spermatic cord, testis, and epididymis. A 77-year old male patient underwent a left hemicolectomy for a descending colon cancer. He was referred to our department because of swelling and pain of the left scrotum two years and six months after surgery. High left orchiectomy was performed. Histological examination revealed a ...

Epididymis-specific lipocalin promoters.

Our goal is to decipher which DNA sequences are required for tissue-specific expression of epididymal genes. At least 6 epididymis-specific lipocalin genes are known. These are differently regulated and regionalized in the epididymis. Lipocalin 5 (Lcn5 or mE-RABP) and Lipocalin 8 (Lcn8 or mEP17) are homologous genes belonging to the epididymis-specific lipocalin gene cluster. Both the 5 kb prom...

Primary leiomyosarcoma of epididymis.

Primary leiomyosarcomas rarely arise from epididymis. But they are the most common histopathological types of sarcoma arising from the epididymis. Primary epididymal leiomyosarcoma occurs usually in older patients. We report a young patient of 35 years presenting with leiomyosarcoma of left epididymis. He did not have any metastasis and underwent left high inguinal orchiectomy. He is on regular...
