Boron is a chemical element widely used in many industrial activities. Exposure to it affects many organs in mammals, mainly reproductive male organs. This work evaluates boron effect in testis. For this purpose, 12mg Boron/L of drinking water, equivalent to Arica tap water, was given for 42 days to 85 days old CF1 male mice (experimental group). Another group (control group) drunk tap water of...

The incubation of Treponema pallidum with rabbit testicular cells, HEP-2 cells, human foreskin cells, rat cardiac cells, and rat skeletal muscle cells caused morphological disruption of these cultured cells. Control preparations of heat-inactivated treponemes, a high-speed supernatant in which treponemes had been pelleted, and culture medium failed to damage the tissue cells, as did viable trep...

Spermatocytic Seminoma is an unusual germ cell tumour known to arise from testis only. It is associated with good prognosis. Testicular tumours as such are uncommon in Asia as compared to western countries. In the literature only five cases of bilateral synchronous Spermatocytic Seminoma have been reported. Fifty years male patient presented to us with bilateral scrotal swelling and evaluation ...

Leydig cell tumors are very rare and account for only 3% of testicular tumors and are generally benign. Only less than 0.2% of all testicular cancers were evidenced by metastatic spread. We report a 34-year-old man visited hospital because of coughing sputum mixed with blood. His chest CT showed bilateral patch clouding opacity. He was suspected with allergic alveolitis and treated with methylp...

Azoospermia in men requires microsurgical reconstruction or a procedure for sperm retrieval with assisted reproduction to allow fertility. While the chance of successful retrieval of sperm in men with obstructive azoospermia approaches >90%, the chances of sperm retrieval in men with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) are not as high. Conventional procedures such as fine needle aspiration of the...

Objective: We report a case that we believe to be the largest example of a testicular mixed germ cell tumor with a clearly defined histology pattern. Clinical Presentation and Interventions: A 21-year-old patient consulted a urologist concerning a giant testicular mass. At the time of presentation the tumor measured 29 ! 20 ! 16 cm, with a weight of 4,850 g. Serum ·-fetoprotein was over 15,000 ...

OBJECTIVE To report on a case of leiomyosarcoma of the testis that appeared to have arisen from a background of chronic testicular inflammation. CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 65-year-old man with a 15-year history of diabetes mellitus and low-grade discomfort and swelling in the right testis presented as an emergency with exacerbation of the pain and swelling of the testis. Repeated ultrasound exam...

Despite of many benefits of nanoparticles induced, their increasing usage raises concern about the consequences and health threats that it might bring to humans. So, the current study evaluated the testicular defects after i.p. injection of silver naoparticles (AgNPs). Male mice, weighing 31-34 g, and of 3 months old were randomly assigned into three groups with respect to concentration of nano...

Intersex is an anomaly in the reproductive system, which characterizes animals that have ambiguity genital system. The documented report of a dog presented abnormalities external genitalia, with presence hemipenis its vulva. animal was submitted to hormone dosage progesterone, testosterone and estrogen. Imaging tests such as ultrasound X-rays were performed, exploratory celiotomy histopathology...

Bone metastasis is a rare entity in germ cell tumor of testis and is a poor prognostic site. It is usually associated with synchronous metastasis at other sites. Till now very few cases of isolated bone metastasis of germ cell tumor of testis have been reported but none have reported scapular metastasis. We are reporting a case of nonseminomatous germ cell tumor of right testis that was operate...
