BACKGROUND Spermatic cord sarcomas are rare. The therapeutic approach is based only on case reports and small series. The standard treatment is radical orchiectomy with wide local resection, while the role of adjuvant therapies is not clear. We present a case of fibrosarcoma of the spermatic cord treated with surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy. A review of the literature about the role of adjuva...

The title compound, C(4)H(6)O(2)S(4), was prepared by repeating, with subtle improvements, a multi-step route originally described by Mott & Barany [J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 1 (1984) ▶, pp. 2615-2621]. The title compound was obtained for the first time as a crystalline material. The two [(methyl-sulfan-yl)carbon-yl]sulfenyl moieties are essentially perpendic-ular to each other, each approxim...

Testicular torsion and detorsion are important clinical problems for infertile man. In fact, torsion of the spermatic cord is an emergency that results from rotation of the testis and epididymis around the axis of the spermatic cord. Male factor infertility accounts for up to half of all cases of infertility and affects one man in 20 in the general population [1]. While the annual incidence of ...

Adrenogenital Syndrome, more properly defined as Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH), is related to the enzyme 21-beta-hydroxylase deficiency, with impaired glucocorticoids and aldosterone syntheses and increased ACTH synthesis. This report describes a case of a monorchid patient suffering from Adrenogenital Syndrome and Leydig cell tumor of his testis. A right orchidectomy with implantation o...
