Introduction: Primary testicular lymphoma is a rare, aggressive form of tumor and accounts for 1% of all extranodal lymphoma. It carries a poor prognosis. So an accurate early diagnosis is essential. Presentation of case: Herein we are reporting a case of this unusual tumor in a 73 year old male patient who presented with a large right testicular swelling. Histological examination showed featur...

Male hypogonadism is a condition characterized by decreased testosterone production and sperm quality or production. This can be the result of primary testicular failure or secondary testicular failure due to pituitary or hypothalamic disorders. Symptoms of hypogonadism include erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, and regression or absence of secondary sexual characteristics. Total testoster...

OBJECTIVE A group of diseases in the scrotum setting forth by the sudden swelling and redness and pain consist of acute scrotal pathologies. The most common causes of acute scrotum in children are epididymitis, epididymo-orchitis, orchitis, testicular torsion, torsion of the appendix testis, incarcerated inguinal hernia and traumatic hydro/hematocele. In this study; we aim to evaulate patients ...

INTRODUCTION Hydrocele development is the most common complication after varicocele repair. The beginning of this kind of hydrocele is variable. The shortest reported onset is one week. In the present report we describe an unusual immediate onset of hydrocele formation following varicocele repair. This represents the first report of a harsh hydrocele onset in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION...

Introduction: Testicular microlithiasis is an uncommon condition characterized by calcifi cations within the seminiferous tubules. The true prevalence in a normal population has not been defi ned. Methods: A review of the literature with emphasis on the connection between testicular microlithiasis and testicular malignancy was carried out. Results: Testicular microlithiasis is associated with d...

AIM To evaluate the relationship between testicular function and testicular volume measured by using Prader orchidometry and ultrasonography (US) to determine the critical testicular volume indicating normal testicular function by each method. METHODS Total testicular volume (right plus left testicular volume) was measured in 794 testes in 397 men with infertility (mean age, 35.6 years) using...

OBJECTIVE To prospectively determine the prevalence of testicular microlithiasis in symptomatic patients who were referred for scrotal ultrasound examination and to evaluate the possible association of testicular microlithiasis with testicular cancer and other conditions such as cryptorchidism or history of ascending testis. MATERIALS AND METHODS 391 men who were referred to our institutions ...

background: spermatogonial stem cells are subpopulation of spermatogonial cells in testis tissue that support beginning and maintenance of spermatogenesis. ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase l1 (uchl1) could be a specific marker for identification of spermatogonial stem cells including spermatogonial sperm cells (sscs) in testis tissue and during the culture; therefore we undertook this study...

Sarcoidosis rarely involves the testicle. Seven cases detected clinically were described in a review in 1986,1 and additional cases have been discovered on autopsy. Sarcoidosis involving the epididymis is a little more common, being found in somewhat less than 1 percent of all men with the disease. 1 We report a case of testicular sarcoidosis diagnosed after orchiectomy in a previously healthy ...

PURPOSE We assessed reproductive and testicular function in adult rats after testicular torsion created before, during and after puberty, and with vs without resveratrol or arginine treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Age matched rats were divided into groups, including simulated surgery without testicular torsion, 720-degree testicular torsion for 4 hours, testicular torsion with resveratrol tr...
