Intratesticular cysts, once thought to be a rarity, are now being reported with an increasing prevalence as a result of the wider use of scrotal ultrasound scanning. Despite greater understanding of intratesticular cysts, their management remains unclear. Treatment has included enucleation and even radical orchiectomy over fear of the possibility of an associated malignancy. A more conservative approach with serial ultrasound scanning has been advocated if a clear distinction can be made between neoplastic and non-neoplastic testicular cysts. However, in view of the benign nature of such cysts, even repeated ultrasound scanning may not be necessary and may be considered over-treatment. In this study we present clinical and morphological characteristics of multiple cysts in the right testicle in a 62-year-old patient, where a slightly nodular lesion in the right testicle was detected.

A relatively rare and puzzling tumor of the testicular tunic is reported. The tumor, so called a fibrous pseudotumor of testicular tunics, in presented because of the clinical dilemma this rare entity causes urologists and pathologists. This report demonstrates the necessity for familiarity with testicular pseudotumors in order to avoid an unnecessary orchiectomy.

Fibrous pseudotumor of testicular tunic is a rare disease which has been considered to be non-neoplastic, reactive, fibrous lesions. This may be difficult to distinguish from other solid tumors arising from paratesticular tissues, and thus may be result in orchiectomy for this benign process.

34 cases of the scrotal injuries were evaluated from Jan. 1, 1980 to Jun. 30, 1984 in National Police Hospital on the testicular salvage rate in relation with the status of preoperative palpation of testis and early or delayed exploration. The rate of orchiectomy was 0 % (0/ 16) in group A(palpable testis in preoperative physical examination) and 55.5% (10/ 18) in group B(impalpable testis). In group B, the testicular salvage rate was 80% with early exploration and 0 %(0/8) with delayed explorations.

Seminoma is one of the most radiosensitive solid tumors. However, the survival of patients with clinically advanced stages B3 and C disease is poor. Most of the failures of treatment in advanced stage seminoma, however, come from systemic diseases outside radiation fields or are secondary to unrecognized non-seminomatous elements. Therefore adjuvant systemic chemotherapy is essential for proper treatment of three patients. Recently we experienced a case of advanced stage seminoma treated with radical inguinal orchiectomy followed by systemic chemotherapy with good result.

Leydig cell tumor is a rare testicular neoplasm that can present as a non-palpable small testicular nodule. Here we present a case of a 36-year-old Filipino male who initially came in for fertility work-up. Semen analysis showed azoospermia. However, an incidental finding on ultrasound showed a well-circumscribed round tumor. The patient underwent radical orchiectomy. On histopathologic examination, a Leydig cell tumor was identified and supported by immunohistochemical staining. We discuss the clinical features pathogenesis, treatment, diagnosis and prognosis of this uncommon entity.

A 5-month-old male infant was referred by the pediatrician for nontender, left testicular enlarged mass. It was intratesticular round cyst 1.7 cm in diameter without internal echoes on ultrasonogram. After inguinal orchiectomy, pathologic report was intratesticular simple cyst. We report a rare case of intratesticularsimple cyst with a brief review of the literature.

Hospital from recent 6 years. The age range extended from 1 month to 34 years with 11 cases arising between the age of 10 and 19. The duration of torsion was less than 6 hours in 2 cases, 6-24 hours in 9 cases and 24 hours or longer in 10 cases. The testicular salvage rate was 100% (11/ II) for the patients operated within less than 24 hours after torsion. and 44% (4/9) for the patients over .24 hours. The degree of torsion was less than 180 degrees in 12 cases, whose testicular salvage rate was 100%. Among the 8 cases who had more than 360 degrees of torsion, orchiectomy was performed in 5 cases. But the duration of torsion of all these cases was more than 24 hours. Thus the testicular salvage in patients with testicular torsion was closely related to the duration of torsion and early scrotal exploration should be done in patients with suspicious testicular torsion.
