The epididymis is an androgen-sensitive tissue which responds to even minor fluctuations in circulating androgens (Prasad, Rajalakshmi, Gupta & Karkun, 1973). Epididymal receptors for androgens have been demonstrated (Blaquier, 1971) and male sex hormones are required for epididymal growth and structural and functional maintenance (Benoit, 1926; Risley, 1963 ; Price & Ortiz, 1965). Apart from c...

Genital rhabdomyoma is very rare tumor that usually occurs in the vulvar of young women. Epididymis rhabdomyoma in a young man is extremely uncommon and has rarely been reported. Here, we report a case of epididymis rhabdomyoma of a 17-year-old man and review the literatures.

We present a rare case of primary carcinoma of the left epididymis in a 32-year-old man. Pathological diagnosis was anaplastic carcinoma of epididymis. The patient is alive and free of metastases 2 years after orchidectomy. Clinical and pathological aspects of epididymal carcinomas are discussed with reference to previously reported cases.

Dicer1 is an endoribonuclease involved in the biogenesis of functional molecules such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and endogenous small interfering RNAs (endo-siRNAs). These small non-coding RNAs are important regulators of post-transcriptional gene expression and participate in the control of male fertility. With the knowledge that 1) Dicer1-dependent factors are required for proper sperm maturation ...

The mule is a sterile hybrid domestic animal that results from the breeding of male donkey with female horse, understanding reproductive biology these species very critical. goal this paper was to perform comparative and more accurate histomorphometric testicles in Barb donkeys mules. Microscopic examinations histological description were carried on genital tract horses, mules healthy mature; s...

The current study aimed to detect specific types of ADAM proteins in the bovine sperm. Histology tissue male reproduction was involved with testis, head, body, and tail epididymis. Results showed that testis composed parenchyma contained seminiferous tubules which are surrounded by two layers externally tunica vaginalis internally albuginea. PAS positive lumen, epithelium body epididymis, Where...
