B mode US imaging with elastosonography tecnology was performed on the cords by 4-13 MHz linear probe (Esaote, MyLab60 Elaxto application). The technic demonstrated a colour map over image. Different colours extended from green (soft) to ruddy (hard) illustrate tissue feature after compression-decompression periods. In kids, spermatic cord testicular torsion is among main significant events. Di...

Malignant spermatic cord tumor is quite uncommon. Metastatic spermatic cord tumor is even rarer. Here we report a case of metastatic spermatic cord tumor from a common hepatic duct tumor (Klatskin tumor). A 38-year-old man presented with right scrotal enlargement and chronic testicular pain. He had a Klatskin tumor (cholangiocarcinoma) stage IIIa, and underwent an extended right hepatectomy wit...

A 16-year-old male presented with a sudden, severe right scrotal pain at rest, occurred within the last 2 hours. The patient had a history of right orchidopexy 12 months ago. There was no associated fever, injury, or sports activity. Clinical examination and color-Doppler ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of testicular torsion, with the absence of intraparenchymal blood flow. The patient was s...

OBJECTIVES Tumors of the spermatic cord and epididymis are rare, and their exact incidence is difficult to determine. Ninety percent of extra testicular tumors within the scrotum are found in the spermatic cord, where 30% is malignant (1). METHODS In this case report we present an unusual spermatic cord tumor, i.e. myositis ossificans (MO). To the best of our knowledge, MO of the spermatic co...

Introduction The testis descends into the scrotum in the neonatal period while the gubernaculums has not yet attached to the scrotal wall. Consequently, the testis and gubernaculums are free to rotate within the scrotum (1). Therefore, the entire testis, epididymis, and tunica vaginalis may twist together in a vertical axis on the spermatic cord which is named extravaginal torsion of the testis...

The fibrous capsule of the tunica albuginea surrounds each testis. A break in the integrity of the tunica albuginea represents a “ruptured” testicle, which can be caused by blunt trauma. External to the testicular parenchyma and tunica albuginea is the tunica vaginalis, which envelops each testicle and fastens it to the posterior scrotal wall. The gubernaculum, or scrotal ligament, anchors each...

abstract malignant spermatic cord tumor is rare. spermatic cord metastasis is less common and the prognosis of these patients is poor. here we report a case of unilateral spermatic cord metastasis from advanced gastric cancer. a 57-year-old male underwent total gastrectomy due to advanced gastric cancer. three years later, a painless hard palpable mass in the left inguinal area developed and th...

In the title compound, C11H9BrO, the cyclo-pentenone ring is almost planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0097 Å. The largest inter-ring torsion angles [2.4 (3), 1.3 (3) and 3.53 (2)°] reveal only a very small twist between the rings, and suggest that the two rings are conjugated. The mol-ecule is slightly bowed, as shown by the small dihedral angle between the rings [5.3 (1)°]. The crystal pack...

Testicular torsion is one of the main causes of acute scrotum and may result in permanent damage of the testicular tissue. Color Doppler imaging has been frequently used in the diagnosis of testicular torsion and posttreatment follow-up period of the disease. There are some studies reporting the value and usefulness of diffusion-weighted imaging in the diagnosis of testicular torsion. However, ...

The plasticity of micron scale Cu and Au wires under cyclic torsion is investigated for the first time by using a torsion balance technique. In addition to a size effect, a distinct Bauschinger effect and an anomalous plastic recovery, wherein reverse plasticity even occurs upon unloading, are unambiguously revealed. The Bauschinger effect and plastic recovery have been observed in molecular dy...
