In children testicular...

Testicular metastases are rare in prostatic adenocarcinomas. The discovery is often fortuitous, and they are diagnosed with a histological examination. Metastasis is often confused with a primitive testicular tumor. We describe an 86-year-old patient with metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma that affected the left testis. The metastasis was discovered after Ablatherm® treatment. A prostatic origi...

Background: There has been a steep increase in the incidence of adult testicular cancer in many populations, but in spite of numerous studies, the etiology of testicular cancer remains elusive. The time trends of childhood testicular tumors are less clear and have been studied in a few populations. To further evaluate whether or not adult and childhood cancers share trend determinants and wheth...

Platinum combination chemotherapy has dramatically altered the survival curves for all stages of testicular cancer. We entered our first patient in August 1974 on our phase II trial of the then experimental drug, cisplatin, combined with vinblastine + bleomycin (PVB) [1]. This study immediately transformed metastatic testicular cancer from a highly fatal disease to a model for a curable neoplas...

A hidrocele testicular consiste no acúmulo anormal de líquido na túnica vaginal, geralmente relacionada à lesão ou inflamação escroto. Este trabalho tem como objetivo relatar a utilização do exame ultrassonográfico e o histopatológico para diagnóstico em suíno. Um cachaço apresentou aumento volume testicular, com edema enrijecimento dos testículos, sem sinais algesia. No havia regiões delimitad...

testicular scintigraphy has been well validated in the evaluation of patients with suspected testicular torsion and provides an accurate evaluation of testicular perfusion at the lime of imaging. however, the presence of normal or increased perfusion to the testis does not definitively exclude the necessity for surgical intervention. a case of intermittent testicular torsion, with a review of t...

background: after improvements in various cancer treatments, life expectancy has been raised, but success in treatment causes loss of fertility in many of the survived young men. cryopreservation of immature testicular tissues or cells introduced as the only way to preserve fertility. however, freezing has some harmful effects. melatonin, a pineal gland hormone, has receptors in reproductive sy...

primitive neuroectodermal tumor (pnet) is usually an aggressive, rapidly progressing and metastasizing tumor. occurrence of this type of tumor in the kidney is considered as unusual and few cases have been reported so far. we present a metastatic pnet arising probably from the kidney in a 17-year-old female patient with local invasion and metastasis to the stomach. pnet should be considered as ...

intraocular metastatic tumors have been increasingly reported in the recent past. unlike choroidal metastasis, metastasis to retina is very rare and so far has been reported in very few case reports only. case presentation : a 56 year-old male who presented with a history of adenocarcinoma of the cecum and underwent lap colectomy for the primary cecal tumor, received adjuvant chemotherapy for a...
