BACKGROUND: Fowler-Stephens orchiopexy is commonly used for testes that cannot be brought into the scrotum in one operation. However, this surgical technique may result in a higher rate of testicular atrophy postoperatively. METHODS: During the period between 2019 and 2023, we analyzed the cases of 20 patients in whom the Shehata technique was applied for testes that could not be brought into the scrotum in one operation, and we conducted a meta-analysis to explore the incidence of testicular atrophy vis-à-vis the Shehata technique and Fowler-Stephens orchiopexy...

A 5-year-old intact male mixed-breed cat weighing 4.5 kg was referred to our hospital with a left testicular mass. CT revealed mild heterogeneous contrast enhancement and calcification in the testicular mass. A well-defined, contrast-enhancing, multiloculated mass with fluid-filled areas was extended from the testicular mass in the scrotum to the caudal aspect of the left kidney. The abdominal mass extended to the right crus of the diaphragm, and the gastrointestinal tract was compressed dorsally. Histopathology was consistent with teratoma...

Studies have demonstrated the high sensitivity and specificity of pediatric emergency department (PED) point of care ultrasound (POCUS) in the evaluation of testicular torsion. Rarely, testicular torsion may present with intact blood flow. Here, we present a case series of four children with testicular torsion confirmed intraoperatively, who had intact blood flow on POCUS. Markers of testicular torsion can include surrounding hydrocele, heterogenous echotexture, absent venous or high resistance arterial flow, or a torsed cord complex...

An 8 yr old male German shorthaired pointer was presented on July 4, 2022, for acute abdominal and testicular pain. The dog was vasectomized at an unknown age under the care of his previous owners. The dog had an enlarged, painful left testis, scrotal edema, and an enlarged, nonpainful prostate. Abdominal ultrasound revealed mild peritoneal and retroperitoneal effusion, orchiepididymitis, enlarged ductus deferentes and testicles, and suspected benign prostatic hyperplasia versus prostatitis. Peritoneal effusion cytology revealed seminoperitoneum with marked neutrophilic inflammation...

Lymphoid tumors with testicular involvement in childhood are rare and heterogeneous. The disease may manifest with uni- or bilateral scrotal enlargement. Comprehensive examination includes evaluation of all lymph nodes involvement, as well as ultrasound examination, magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography. A diagnosis is made on basis of morphological and immunohistochemical verification. Determination of lymphoid tumor variant and stage, is recommended to perform chemotherapy according to prognostic risk group, and, in some cases, transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells is required as consolidation therapy...

The majority of solid testicular tumors are treated with orchiectomy given the high risk of malignancy. We present a case of a testicular mass in an adult patient in the setting of recent hand, foot, and mouth disease that was managed conservatively with serial ultrasounds. Even though cases of viral-associated testicular masses are rare, this differential diagnosis should be considered in patients with a new testicular mass in the setting of recent viral infection and negative tumor markers. For these patients, observation may be an option instead of immediate orchiectomy...

Tubular ectasia of the rete testis (TERT) presents as multiple cystic structures within the rete testis, often incidentally detected on ultrasound as echo-free intratesticular cystic lesions. Despite its benign nature, assessing testicular cystic lesions can sometimes be challenging. The primary importance of identifying this uncommon condition lies in its distinction from cystic testicular malignancies and thus avoiding further radical procedures. We report an instance of TERT within the right testis discovered incidentally in a patient with a medical background of epididymitis, presenting for management of left testis cryptorchidism, and bilateral inguinal hernia...

Amyand's hernia is a rare condition characterized by an inguinal hernia containing the appendix, which can lead to complications. It is more common in children and it can be challenging to diagnose due to its location, often being mistaken for other conditions like strangulated hernias, orchitis-epididymitis, or testicular torsion. Imaging, including computed tomography and sonography, plays an important role in diagnosis, which is usually made intraoperatively. A case concerning a 3-month-old boy with a large acute scrotum that had been evolving for 4 days was presented...

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has emerged as a promising imaging modality for the characterization of hepatic and renal lesions. However, there is a paucity of data describing the use of CEUS for the evaluation of intra-scrotal pathology. In the following review, we describe the clinical utility of CEUS for the characterization and differentiation of common and uncommon intra-scrotal conditions, including testicular torsion, infection, trauma, and benign and malignant intratesticular and extratesticular neoplasms...

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) arises from genetic enzyme defects, often in CYP21A2, causing primary adrenal insufficiency. In this case report, a man in his late 20s with lifelong CAH faced challenges in adhering to medication. Suboptimal treatment led to the development of testicular adrenal rest tumours, diagnosed by ultrasound, and hypogonadism. Enhanced adherence restored hormone levels, promoting eugonadism. Adherence plays a crucial role in diminishing tumour size and preventing complications, potentially necessitating orchiectomy in severe cases...
