We report an unusual case of testicular heterotopia in a child who underwent excision of a subcutaneous mass associated with a lipomyelomeningocele in the lumbosacral region. To the best of our knowledge testicular heterotopia has never been documented in humans, and this case report provides a possible embryological interpretation for such a presentation.

Department of Pathology, Tata Main Hospital, Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, India.
Article Synopsis
- * The case presented involves a man in his early 30s who had a right testicular swelling and was diagnosed with type II TTE and a mixed germ cell tumor following surgery.
- * The study emphasizes the need for thorough clinical evaluation and examination, including a detailed history and radiological and pathological assessments, when encountering such uncommon medical cases.
Gss deficiency causes age-related fertility impairment via ROS-triggered ferroptosis in the testes of mice.
Cell Death Dis
December 2023
Department of Reproductive Medicine, Central Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, Jinan, 250013, China.
Article Synopsis
- * GSS knockout leads to age-dependent male fertility issues due to increased oxidative stress, where young mice compensate with another antioxidant (GPX4), but older ones suffer from ROS accumulation and testicular damage.
- * The study shows that inhibiting ferroptosis (a form of cell death) can mitigate fertility problems caused by GSS deletion, offering potential strategies for treating male infertility linked to oxidative stress during aging.
Persistent Müllerian duct syndrome (PMDS) is a rare sexual development disorder. It is even more rarely associated with transverse testicular ectopia (TTE), a rare form of testicular ectopia, in which both testes descend through a single inguinal canal and are present in the same hemiscrotum. PMDS with TTE is associated with 18%-33% malignant transformation.

The condition can be detected by ultrasound. Nevertheless, the diagnosis is often missed preoperatively and CTE is recognized intraoperatively.

We performed a retrospective review of all pediatric patients diagnosed with ectopic adrenal tissue as an incidental finding during surgery of the inguinal canal at our center between 2000 and 2021. Six patients were included.
