In this study, the effectiveness of intra-testicular ethanol and calcium chloride administrations was compared for chemical-castration in 12 mixbred young bulls (12-15 months old and 250-400 kg). Ten ml of absolute ethanol or 10 ml of a 30 % calcium chloride solution were administered intra-testicularly in each testicle which were removed with the open surgical technique after 60 days for histo...

BACKGROUND Inflammatory pseudotumour refers to a non-malignant tumour-like mass resulting from an inflammatory reaction that is composed of granulation tissue with leukocyte infiltration that commonly occurs in the paediatric or young adult population. These tumours occur more commonly in the lungs and the orbit but rarely does it affect the gastrointestinal tract. It poses a clinical diagnosti...

We report a scrotal epidermal inclusion cyst located outside the median raphe which a rare entity in the absence of trauma and few cases have been reported. 47 year old male presents with a complaint of right sided testicular swelling and discomfort. On examination a 3 cm mass was palpated between the scrotum and the medial thigh on the subcutaneous tissue with a positive slip sign. Complete su...

This study evaluated intra-testicular injection of sodium chloride for chemical-castration in 12 mix bred dogs (6 adult and 6 non-adult). The sodium chloride at 20% concentration per testis were injected intratesticularly until tension occurs and the testicles were removed with the open surgical technique about 30 days for histopathologic evaluation. Testicular swelling was evident in both grou...

OBJECTIVE To investigate a method of chemical sterilization and its efficacy in adult albino rats. METHOD Evaluation was conducted 3 weeks after a single bilateral intratesticular injection of calcium chloride (CaCl2) at the dose of 5, 10, 15 or 20 mg per testis per 100 g body weight. RESULTS The significant graded diminution in relative sex organ weights, testicular androgenic enzymes like...

AIM To assess seminal plasma anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level relationships in fertile and infertile males. METHODS Eighty-four male cases were studied and divided into four groups: fertile normozoospermia (n = 16), oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (n = 15), obstructive azoospermia (OA) (n = 13) and non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) (n = 40). Conventional semen analysis was done for all cases. ...

BACKGROUND Testicular morphology and immunohistochemical studies have never been reported in genetically documented adult patients with 5 alpha-reductase type 2 deficiency (5α-R2 deficiency). CASE PRESENTATION We describe the testicular histopathology of a 17-year-old XY subject with 5α-R2 deficiency caused by the recurrent homozygous Gly115Asp loss of function mutation of the SRD5A2 gene.We ...
