Spindle cell neoplasms are defined as neoplasms that consist of spindle-shaped cells in the histopathology. Spindle cell neoplasms can affect the oral cavity. In the oral cavity, the origin of the spindle cell neoplasms may be traced to epithelial, mesenchymal and odontogenic components. This article aims to review the spindle cell neoplasms of the oral cavity with emphasis on histopathology. ...

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 whethe...

Spermatocytic seminoma (SS) is a rare testicular neoplasm characterized by a palpable, painless, slowly enlarging mass in the testis. Even more rare is a synchronous bilateral presentation. Only eight cases of bilateral SS have been reported in the literature, of which three cases were present with synchronous testis enlargement, and five were sequential. Here, we report an additional case of s...

A case of discontinuous splenogonadal fusion, diagnosed pre-operatively as a testicular tumor, is described. The condition and potential pre-operative diagnostic methods are explored.

The recently published 2016 World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Tumors of the Urinary System and Male Genital Organs stems from the accumulated knowledge and data collected during the last 12 years, since the previous edition of the WHO “blue book” 2004. The major changes in prostate pathology include the introduction of a novel grading system for prostate cancer (Grade Groups/Int...

Fibrous pseudotumor is a rare entity involving the paratestis comprising about 6%. These lesions are considered to represent a benign reactive process that chiefly affect young adults and mimic testicular tumors. We report a case of a 35 year old male who presented with a painless testicular mass since 2 year. This case is reported due to its extreme rarity and highlights the need to incorporat...

The clinical implications of the association between testicular microlithiasis (TM) and germ cell tumor (GCT) of the testis are still debated since the natural history of incidentally discovered TM has not been defined. Therefore, it is questionable whether TM can be considered as a precursor of malignancy. We are reporting the case of a 9-yr-old boy with a mixed GCT who had presented 3 yr earl...

PURPOSE To evaluate the occurrence of testicular microlithiasis in pediatric age group by means of ultrasonography (US) examinations and to review the literature for pediatric testicular microlithiasis cases accompanied by testicular and extratesticular tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nine children aged 3-16 years (mean age, 9.2 years) with testicular microlithiasis had been evaluated with US i...
