Liposarcoma presenting as a paratesticular mass with spermatic cord involvement is rare and frequently misdiagnosed (Coleman et al., 2003). Investigation of spermatic cord liposarcoma has been difficult because of its rarity. The current standard therapeutic approach for spermatic cord tumor has been radical inguinal orchiectomy with wide local resection of surrounding soft tissues (Rodriguez e...

PURPOSE We identified structural abnormalities in the spermatic cord nerves that may explain how microsurgical denervation of the spermatic cord provides pain relief in patients with chronic orchialgia. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed a prospective database to compare spermatic cord biopsy specimens from 56 men treated with a total of 57 procedures for microsurgical denervat...

Techniques for measuring upper femoral torsion in children have been progressively developed by Dunn (1952), Ryder and Crane (1953), Dunlap, Shands, Hollister, Gaul and Streit (1953), Magilligan (1956) and Shands and Steele (1958). The projected neck-shaft angle of inclination and the projected angle of femoral torsion (Fig. 1) may be used to plot the true torsion on a table based on a mathemat...

It is conjectured that for fixed A, r ≥ 1, and d ≥ 1, there is a uniform bound on the size of the torsion submodule of a Drinfeld A-module of rank r over a degree d extension L of the fraction field K of A. We verify the conjecture for r = 1, and more generally for Drinfeld modules having potential good reduction at some prime above a specified prime of K. Moreover, we show that within an L-iso...

Most spermatic cord masses are benign, and malignant spermatic cord tumors are uncommon. Spermatic cord metastases originating from hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have not been previously reported in the English language literature as determined by a PubMed search. We report a male patient who presented with a painful palpable mass in the right inguinal area. The patient was diagnosed with HCC ...

We present the clinical presentation, sonography, CT, and MR imaging as well as correlative intra-operative and gross pathological findings of ovarian torsion in a 14-year-old girl. Our findings are discussed in the context of prior imaging studies performed for the evaluation of ovarian torsion. Ovarian torsion is not an uncommon cause of acute abdominal pain in children and teenage girls. Dia...

In this case report, a rare case of an adnexal torsion caused by hyperreactio luteinalis (HL) in the third trimester is described, since adnexal torsions are mainly restricted to the first trimester of pregnancy. In an emergency Cesarean section, the patient gave birth to a healthy female baby weighing 3,300 g and we found an enlarged benign multiple luteinized follicular cyst mass in the right...

Early diagnosis of ovarian torsion is critical in avoiding complications and planning management. Therefore, it is important to understand and assess the imaging findings of ovarian torsion. Ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice; however, it is not always definitive and diagnosis can be challenging. MRI is a better imaging modality to evaluate for signs of complications and to arrive at ...

Adnexal torsion (AT) is a condition in which there is sometimes difficulty in making a preoperative diagnosis since there are no routine laboratory markers and this condition is usually intraoperatively diagnosed. Many of the studies have indicated that the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a significant inflammatory marker in various diseases. In this study, we aimed to investigate the d...

BACKGROUND Surgeons performing an ilioinguinal exposure for acetabular fracture surgery need to be aware of aberrant findings such as inguinal hernias and spermatic cord lesions. The purpose of this study is to report these occurrences in a clinical series of adult males undergoing acetabular fracture fixation and a series of adult male cadavers. The secondary aim is to characterize these abnor...
