Published: October 1992

A 24-yr-old male who experienced fleeting episodes of left scrotal pain since the age of 13 had an ultrasound that suggested testicular duplication on the side (triorchidism). Five months later he had acute left scrotal pain lasting for 12 hr. At that time routine scrotal scintigraphy revealed late torsion and an additional sitting view demonstrated triorchidism. Literature review indicates that in this rare condition there is an increased risk of torsion. In only two prior reports did an ultrasound examination suggest triorchidism preoperatively.

Testicular follicular lymphoma (TFL) is an exceedingly rare lymphoma that typically occurs in young male patients and is now recognized as a distinct diagnostic entity in the International Consensus Classification. TFL shows some clinicopathologic and genetic overlap with pediatric-type follicular lymphoma (PTFL). We report a case of TFL occurring in an otherwise healthy 4-year-old boy who presented with painless scrotal swelling.

Semen analysis is universally regarded as the gold standard for diagnosing male infertility, while ultrasonography plays a vital role as a complementary diagnostic tool. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of artificial intelligence (AI)-driven deep learning algorithms in predicting semen analysis parameters based on testicular ultrasonography images. This study included male patients aged 18-54 who sought evaluation for infertility at the Urology Outpatient Clinic of our hospital between February 2022 and April 2023.

Splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by an unusual linkage between ectopic splenic tissue and the gonad, with a higher prevalence observed in the males. While the majority of the splenogonadal fusion cases are associated with cryptorchidism, the patients may have other congenital malformations such as inguinal hernias. Despite being benign and having a rare occurrence, the preoperative diagnosis of splenogonadal fusion is a challenging one.
