1/48. Scrotal hematoma, anemia, and jaundice as manifestations of adrenal neuroblastoma in a newborn.Clinically, a neuroblastoma presents mostly as an abdominal mass. Within the tumor, bleeding can be present, sometimes extending in to its surroundings. This case report describes a neuroblastoma, presenting as scrotal hematoma in a newborn boy, which initially raised the suspicion of a torsion testis. In this patient, the bleeding descended through the subcutaneous and muscular tissue into the scrotum. In addition, anemia and jaundice were marked features. This clinical manifestation of a neuroblastoma has not been reported previously. ultrasonography is advised as the first diagnostic step to exclude retroperitoneal origin of the bleeding. magnetic resonance imaging and meta-iodobenzyl guanidine scanning were helpful tools in the final diagnostic workup.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = testis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/48. Vasitis nodosa: immunohistochemical findings--case report.We report the immunohistochemical features of vasitis nodosa and discuss the differential diagnosis. The patient was a 42-year-old Japanese man with bilateral small indurations of the vas deferens at the site of a previous vasectomy. Microscopically, small-sized ducts proliferated within the muscular wall of the vas deferens, and focally in the surrounding connective tissue. Immunohistochemically, most proliferating glandular cells were strongly positive for cytokeratins 7, 19, and 34betaE12, and vimentin. Epithelial membrane antigen and Leu-M1 reacted against the luminal surface of the cells. Focally, glandular cells were also positive for CA125. Cytokeratin 20, carcinoembryonic antigen, and prostate-specific antigen were negative. We discuss the immunohistochemical differentiation of vasitis nodosa from prostatic adenocarcinoma, adenocarcinoma of the rete testis, and adenomatoid tumor.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = testis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/48. Acute scrotal swelling in Henoch-Schonlein purpura: a case report.Henoch-Schonlein purpura is a systemic vasculitis and sometimes presents as acute scrotal swelling in children. We report a case of Henoch-Schonlein purpura with acute scrotal swelling, which was correctly diagnosed based upon local physical findings. Scrotal ultrasonography showed normal testes and hydrocele testis around the affected testis 3 hours after the sudden onset of the pain. The scrotal symptoms improved in 2 days with steroid therapy. Scrotal ultrasonography was useful to diagnose Henoch-Schonlein purpura with scrotal involvement. Steroid treatment appeared to be effective for this condition.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = testis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/48. Idiopathic calcification of the seminal vesicles: a rare cause for prostate cancer overstaging.Calcification of the seminal vesicles is a rare phenomenon. We present 2 cases in whom calcification of the seminal vesicles led to preoperative overstaging of prostate cancer. Although idiopathic calcifications are extremely rare, calcifications appear more frequently in diabetic patients. Therefore, knowledge of these formations is essential to prevent overstaging, namely infiltration of the seminal vesicles.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.024631733728198keywords = cancer (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/48. chlamydia trachomatis disguised as an asymptomatic scrotal mass in adolescents.We present two cases of adolescents who presented with painless scrotal masses suggestive of testicular cancer. Diagnostic workup of both these patients revealed chlamydia trachomatis and both patients were successfully treated with doxycycline. Both patients initially denied sexual activity. We suggest that a high index of suspicion is warranted in adolescent patients that present with asymptomatic scrotal masses and precise tests for C. trachomatis be done to rule out an infectious cause.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0049263467456397keywords = cancer (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/48. spermatic cord metastasis from a medulloblastoma.A 4-year-old boy presented with metastases in the spermatic cord and ribs 2 years after treatment for a primary medulloblastoma (MB). The testis was free of tumor. A MB presenting with a metastasis to the spermatic cord has not been reported to date. The role of a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt in promoting such spread should be considered in planning management.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = testis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/48. Partial vesiculectomy in an infertile man with seminal vesicle cyst, ipsilateral renal agenesis, and cryptorchidism.Congenital seminal vesicle cysts associated with renal agenesis are uncommon, but are currently detected more frequently with the use of sectional imaging procedures. Approximately 200 cases have been reported. The unique feature of our case is the combination of this disorder with an ipsilateral undescended testis. Our patient underwent partial vesiculectomy, in which the cyst was removed and the seminal vesicle remnant with its vas deferens was preserved. A review of the infertile cases and the impact of surgical treatment on fertility are discussed. Features that render partial vesiculectomy applicable and the potential effect of this procedure on fertility are highlighted.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = testis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/48. "Acute scrotum" in Henoch-Schonlein syndrome.Two patients with Henoch-Schonlein syndrome presented with clinical pictures mimicking testicular torsion. No evidence of testicular torsion was found. A review of the literature revealed that testis torsion is very rarely associated with testicular involvement in Henoch-Schonlein syndrome, and hence only rarely is surgical exploration required.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = testis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/48. Scrotal swelling in the Schonlein-Henoch syndrome.Testicular and scrotal hemorrhage is uncommon in the Schonlein-Henoch syndrome. The diagnosis of testicular torsion is difficult to make when it is complicated by vasculitis of the testis. Since both conditions can occur simultaneously, torsion of the testis must be considered and surgical exploration performed whenever acute testicular pain and swelling occur during the course of the Schonlein-Henoch syndrome. Two patients with this syndrome as well as scrotal and testicular involvement are described.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = testis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/48. amyloidosis of the lower genitourinary tract.Three patients with amyloidosis of the lower genitourinary tract are described. In the cases of primary localized amyloidosis of the urethra and primary systemic amyloidosis involving the prostate the clinical presentation mimicked cancer of the respective sites. In the case of secondary localized amyloidosis of the seminal vesicles chronic perineal pain suggested seminal vesiculitis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0049263467456397keywords = cancer (Clic here for more details about this article) |
