Leiomyomas are the second most common tumors of epididymis. Patients with leiomyomas are sometimes misdiagnosed with testicular tumors. A Case of a patient with a scrotal mass presenting with testicular torsion is reported. Concurrent occurrence of testicular torsion and epididymal leiomyoma is an extremely rare condition.

Pathophysiological effects of hypoxia on testis function and spermatogenesis.
Nat Rev Urol
January 2025
Discipline of Biological Sciences, College of Engineering, Science and Environment, The University of Newcastle, Callaghan, New South Wales, Australia.
Multiple conditions can cause hypoxia in the testis, including exposure to high altitude, sleep apnoea, testicular torsion and varicocele. Varicocele accounts for up to 44% of instances of primary infertility, but the cumulative contribution of hypoxic conditions to male infertility is undefined. Results of controlled hypobaric hypoxia studies have demonstrated a substantial detrimental effect of short-term and long-term exposures on sperm; however, downstream effects on embryo development and offspring health are less well understood.

Article Synopsis
- Ultrasound is the top non-invasive method for diagnosing testicular issues, effectively distinguishing between causes of acute pain and swelling like epididymitis and testicular torsion.
- It can detect and analyze masses inside and outside the testicle, especially when irregularities or swelling are present.
- Proper training and knowledge of the technique's limits improve the interpretation of ultrasound results, helping in clinical decision-making.

Background Acute scrotum is a medical emergency commonly encountered in clinical practice, particularly in pediatric and adolescent populations. It is characterized by sudden onset of scrotal pain and may involve swelling, redness, or tenderness. The most common etiologies include testicular torsion, epididymo-orchitis, trauma, and, less frequently, tumors.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how effective ultrasounds are in diagnosing testicular torsion in children who have scrotal pain and swelling, involving 120 pediatric cases from 2017 to 2022.
- Out of the diagnosed cases, the ultrasound showed no blood flow in 78 cases, and among patients treated, most had favorable outcomes regardless of the treatment method (manual reduction or surgery).
- The results indicate that ultrasound diagnosis has high sensitivity (95.24%) and accuracy (89.29%), highlighting its importance in early diagnosis and treatment for better patient outcomes.
Scrotoliths in the testicular tunica vaginalis in an elderly male cadaver: clinical implications.
Folia Med (Plovdiv)
August 2024
All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.
Scrotoliths, or "scrotal pearls," are calcified fibrous loose bodies found within the tunica vaginalis, often seen during radiological evaluation or autopsies. Chronic inflammation due to trauma, parasitic infestations, and torsion and subsequent detachment of the appendices of the testis or epididymis are postulated mechanisms suggested for their formation. They are benign but can mimic a tumor.
