Semen quality in patients with testicular cancer is associated with age and with greatly elevated levels of beta human chorionic gonadotropin

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Poor semen quality is a well‐known feature in patients with testicular germ cell tumours (GCTs) at the time of diagnosis but the underlying biological reasons are incompletely understood. Objectives This study aimed to identify GCT‐specific clinical factors that are involved with poor semen quality in GCT patients.

Angiomatoid fibrous histiocytoma of the spermatic cord — case report and literature review

open access: yesOncology in Clinical Practice
In this article, we present a case of a 77-year-old patient with a tumor of the spermatic cord. The tumor infiltrated the structures of the spermatic cord, had a hard and solid structure, and was located in the middle part of the sper­matic cord.

A Unified Machine Learning Model for Relapse Prediction in Clinical Stage I Testicular Cancer

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Approximately one‐fourth of patients with clinical stage I testicular cancer relapse. For decades, risk stratification has been based on different tumor characteristics for seminomas and non‐seminomas. Previous studies primarily used Cox proportional‐hazards models and included only a limited number of variables.

A case of a hematocele of the spermatic cord mimicking epididymal tumor

open access: yesUrology Case Reports, 2020
A 68-year-old man visited our hospital complaining of painless left scrotal swelling. Stony hard mass was palpable at cephalad side of the testis. MRI showed a solid component mass mimicking epididymal tumor.

Limited Clinical Impact of Androgen Receptor Repeat Length (CAG and GGC) in Klinefelter Syndrome: A Multivariable Analysis

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is characterized by marked phenotypic heterogeneity that might be influenced by genetic modifiers, including androgen receptor (AR) repeat length (CAGn and GGCn). The clinical relevance of these repeat lengths in patients with KS before testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) remains unclear.

Duplicate Vas Deferens Encountered during Inguinal Hernia Repair: A Case Report and Literature Review

open access: yesCase Reports in Surgery, 2016
Duplication of the vas deferens is a rare anomaly, defined as the presence of two distinct vasa deferentia within one spermatic cord, with only 28 cases reported worldwide since 1959. We report the case of a 63-year-old man with a duplicate vas deferens,

A Rare Cause of the Rare Condition: Paratesticular Fibrous Pseudotumor

open access: yesJournal of Urological Surgery, 2015
Benign fibrous proliferations of the spermatic cord are uncommon and mostly arise from the paratesticular region. Although benign, they often clinically mimic malignancy and usually remain undiagnosed preoperatively.

Impact of FSHB and FSHR Genes Polymorphisms on Hormonal Profile and Sperm Retrieval Outcome in Men With Klinefelter Syndrome: A Clinical–Genetic Predictive Study

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Genetic variability within the follicle‐stimulating hormone (FSH)‐related genes might contribute to phenotypic heterogeneity in patients with Klinefelter syndrome (KS), yet its clinical impact on sperm retrieval remains unclear. Objectives To investigate the association between FSHB c.211 G > T and FSHR polymorphisms (c.2039 A > G ...
