Twenty years old young was referred to our department due to painful inguinal mass. The mass was diagnosed as torsion of third testis which was treated by orchiectomy. Polyorchidism is a rare entity with increased risk for malignancy and torsion.

Polyorchidism is a rare congenital anomaly of the genital tract in which more than two testes are present, usually within the scrotum. Less than 100 cases of polyorchidism have been reported in medical literature till date. The most common form is the presence of three testis referred as triorchidism or tritestis. There are characteristic sonographic features of polyorchidism, and the diagnosis...

Polyorchidism is an unusual abnormality of the genital tract in which supernumerary testes are present. To date there have been 178 reports (198 cases) of polyorchidism in the English literature. To our knowledge, only two cases of bilobed testis have been previously described in the paediatric literature. It may be presumed that a bilobed testis is an incomplete expression of triorchidism. Sin...

the testicular torsion which is typically seen in prepuberty is very rare in the early neonatal period; prenatal diagnosis is difficult. herein, we report a five day-old male neonate with swelling and erythema of the right scrotum.  following doppler ultrasound suggestive of testicular torsion, surgical exploration was undertaken. there was gangrene of the right testis with discoloration and ne...

introduction: since discovery of high frequency waves, their biological effects have been in great attention. increased male fertility problems proposed their possible relation to use of microwaves. testes are of very active body tissues, which can be affected by these waves. age of exposure may also be an important factor. methods: this study was carried out to evaluated testosterone level in ...

objective(s):  being secreted by the pineal gland, melatonin induces cell proliferation in normal cells and induced apoptosis in cancer cells. the purpose of this study was to investigate effects of melatonin on main components and the expression of apoptotic genes in vitrified-thawed testicular germ cells of 6- day–old mice.  materials and methods: testes of neonate balb/c mice were vitrified-...

This work aimed to clarify the expression and roles of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and its type 2 receptor (AMHR2) in seminiferous tubules of maturing rat testes. By quantitative RT-PCR, we determined the relative expressions of Amh, Amhr2, Scp1, Rsbn1, Ngfr, and Rhox5 in rat testes aged 5-49 days (d), and in germ cells and Sertoli cells isolated from 21d testes. Smad 1,5 and 8 expressions wer...

Polyorchidism is a rare anomaly of the genitourinary system which is defined as the presence of more than two testes within the scrotum. Lobulation of a testis is also a rare anomaly. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of polyorchidism with lobulation of a supernumerary testis. We present ultrasonography findings of lobulation of a supernumerary testis in a 38-year-old man.

In human testes, stem cells such as spermatogonia need to produce progeny cells continually. Telomere length is maintained throughout spermatogenesis, i.e. from spermatogonia to spermatozoon, and telomerase is reported to be present in the testes. In this study, we measured the activity of telomerase in the human testes of 16 cases of idiopathic azoospermia, 10 of obstructive azoospermia, and 1...
