Article Abstract
Primary testicular leiomyosarcomas (LMS) are very rare tumours, with only 20 cases reported so far in the literature (Abdullazade et al. Turk Patoloji Derg 29:227-230, 2013; Komeya et al. Indian J Urol 28:343-346, 2012). We present a case of a 70-year-old male patient who presented with recurrence in the right hemiscrotum 10 weeks after right inguinal orchidectomy for a testicular mass which diagnosed as primary intratesticular leiomyosarcoma. He was treated with wide local excision and adjuvant radiotherapy.

Context: 47,XXY/Klinefelter syndrome (XXY) is associated with impaired testicular function and differences in physical growth, metabolism, and neurodevelopment. Clinical features of XXY may be attributable to inadequate testosterone during the mini-puberty period of infancy.
Objective: We tested the hypothesis that exogenous testosterone treatment positively effects short-term physical, hormonal, and neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants with XXY.

Testosterone is a natural hormone which is an essential factor to maintain the physical and emotional well-being in men, regardless of age. Male hypogonadism is an endocrinal condition of testosterone deficiency with the potential to cause multiple physical complaints and psychosocial problems. The condition can be of primary (due to testicular injury), secondary (due to diseases of the hypothalamus or pituitary gland) or functional nature (due to comorbidities, such as inflammatory diseases, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus).

Purpose Of Review: Chemotherapy offers excellent long-term survival rates for men with clinical stage II germ cell tumours. However, in this predominantly younger population, chemotherapy is associated with long-term adverse effects. Primary retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) may serve as an alternative treatment option, preserving oncological safety while potentially reducing adverse effects in men with limited retroperitoneal disease.

Testicular cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among young men in the United States. Seminoma comprises a little over half of all testicular germ cell neoplasms. After radial inguinal orchiectomy, management of seminoma is dictated by tumor stage and risk stratification.
