Testicular torsion is one of the main causes of acute scrotum and may result in permanent damage of the testicular tissue. Color Doppler imaging has been frequently used in the diagnosis of testicular torsion and posttreatment follow-up period of the disease. There are some studies reporting the value and usefulness of diffusion-weighted imaging in the diagnosis of testicular torsion. However, ...

PURPOSE Race and insurance status independently predict outcome disparities after trauma. Black patients, Hispanic patients, uninsured patients and patients who live farther from trauma centers have a worse outcome after trauma than others. To our knowledge it is unknown whether these factors have a role in the testicular salvage rate after testicular trauma. We used NTDB (National Trauma Data ...

❏ A. Most cases of testicular cancer are discovered during the clinical examination. ❏ B. Testicular cancer is the most common type of cancer in men older than 50 years. ❏ C. Testicular cancer is common compared with other types of cancer. ❏ D. In most cases, testicular cancer is managed surgically; treatment also may include radiation therapy or chemotherapy. ❏ E. Less than 40 percent of newly...

Testicular cancer is an uncommon malignancy. Most of testicular cancers are of the germ cell tumor type and they can be classified into seminomas or nonseminomas. The most common presentation of testicular cancer is a painless testicular nodule. Alpha-fetoprotein can be elevated in nonseminomas, while beta-human chorionic gonadotropin is usually elevated in both seminomas and nonseminomas. Radi...

objective: melatonin, the pineal gland hormone as a direct or indirect antioxidant and free radical scavenger, is involved in the process of both aging and age-related diseases. this study investigates the effects of melatonin on the histology of testicular seminiferous tubules in aged mice. materials and methods: twenty male, white mice, aged 16 months, that weighed 20-23 gr were equally divid...

By describing 3 clinical cases of unusual testicular non germinal tumors, including an adenoma of the rete testis, an undifferenciated sex cord tumor and a mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis, we make a literature review of the unusual testicular tumors and testicular apendix, including their incidence and management. Also and as one of our conclusions, we expose the importance of the intraope...

Neonatal testicular torsion, also known as perinatal testicular torsion is a subject of debate among surgeons. Neonatal testicular torsion either intrauterine or postnatal results into extravaginal torsion which is a different entity than intravaginal type but has the same devastating consequences if not diagnosed and managed well in time. Testicular torsion results into acute ischemia with its...

We report a case of testicular thecoma in an 11-year-old Japanese boy with nevoid basal-cell carcinoma syndrome (Gorlin syndrome). He presented with left testicular swelling and underwent a radical orchiectomy on suspicion of a malignant paratesticular tumor. The tumor arose from the testis exophytically and was diagnosed as a thecoma histopathologically. Ovarian thecoma-fibroma group tumors ar...

Monitoring mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) on a former plutonium production site along the Columbia River at the Hanford Site, Washington (USA) revealed 27 (23%) of 116 adult males had unusually shaped, velvet-covered antlers and abnormally developed testicles. We captured 32 males to examine age-class differences and the ratio of affected to unaffected deer and determine whether affected testi...
