A case of seminoma presented with clinical manifestations of testicular torsion

Testicular tumors rarely manifest themselves with clinical picture of testicular torsion. In this presentation of ours, we reported a 30-year-old patient whose post-orchiectomy histopathology report revealed the presence of seminoma. The patient consulted us with acute scrotum whose physical examination and Doppler ultrasonographic findings showed testicular torsion. Though rarely seen patients, in cases who consulted with acute scrotum, the possibility of testicular tumor should not be discarded. For the establishment of differential diagnosis detailed anamnesis and physical examination findings should be supported with laboratory tests and imaging modalities

White blood cell counts and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio in the diagnosis of testicular cancer: a simple secondary serum tumor marker

ABSTRACT Purpose The aim of the study was to investigate white blood cell counts and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as markers of systemic inflammation in the diagnosis of localized testicular cancer as a malignancy with initially low volume. Materials and Methods Thirty-six patients with localized testicular cancer with a mean age of 34.22±14.89 years and 36 healthy controls with a mean age of 26.67±2.89 years were enrolled in the study. White blood cell counts and NLR were calculated from complete blood cell counts. Results White blood cell counts and NLR were statistically significantly higher in patients with testicular cancer compared with the control group (p<0.0001 for all). Conclusions Both white blood cell counts and NLR can be used as a simple test in the diagnosis of testicular cancer besides the well-known accurate serum tumor markers as AFP (alpha fetoprotein), hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) and LDH (lactate dehydrogenase)

Orchiectomy as a Result of Ischemic Orchitis After Inguinal Hernia Repair

Ischemic orchitis is an established complication after open and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, but ischemic orchitis resulting in orchiectomy after the surgical approach is very rare. We reported a case of healthy 47 year-old man, with no previous surgery or history of trauma, who presented with right direct inguinal hernia. He is a thin, muscular male with a narrow pelvis who underwent right extraperitoneal mesh implantation with open inguinal hernia repair. The patient was discharged on the same day and doing well with minimal pain and swelling until the fifth day after surgery. That night he presented with sudden-onset of pain and swelling of his right testicle and denied both trauma to the area and any sexual activity. Scintigraphy and ultrasound of the testicle revealed no blood flow to the testicle which required exploration and subsequent orchiectomy

A standardized scoring system in the prediction of success and complications of percutaneous nephrolithotomy: Guy's stone scoring system.

OBJECTIVES: In this study, our aim was to determine the role of Guy's stone scoring system (GSS) in the prediction of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) success and its ability to foresee potential complications in consideration of Clavien grading system (CGS)
