OBJECTIVE
To describe a rare case of adenomatoid tumor of the testicular tunica albuginea and to discuss the clinical, histogenetic and therapeutic aspects.
RESULTS
A rare case of adenomatoid tumor of the testicular tunica albuginea is presented. The clinical, histogenetic and therapeutic aspects
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the pathological changes of tunica albuginea in erectile dysfunction (ED), the role of tunica albuginea in penis erection, and the therapeutic effect of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor (PDE5I) on ED.
METHODS
Thirty 8-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into
Malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis is an aggressive tumour with local recurrence being distant metastases the main feature of the clinical course. Usually appears over the fourth decade, having a strong relationship with occupational exposure to asbestos and long lasting
OBJECTIVE
to demonstrate the possible effectiveness of a long-term multimodal medical therapy in patients with Peyronie's disease (PD) we carried out a controlled study on 82 patients diagnosed with PD, whereas in the scientific literature the conservative treatment of this disease is much
BACKGROUND
The bladder has traditionally been considered to lack a muscularis mucosae (MM). However in the last decade a number of studies based on biopsies or neoplastic cystectomy specimens have report the presence of a MM. Likewise, and based on the existence of such structure proposals have been
We report the case of 33 year-old man who presented a rare benign paratesticular mass identified as fibrous pseudotumor Because of its rarity, the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects as well as the possibilities of organ-sparing surgery are discussed.
Graft coronary arteriosclerosis (GCA) frequently limits the long-term success of cardiac transplantation. The pathogenic mechanisms of and stimuli that provoke GCA remain uncertain. Whatever the initiating factors, deranged control of smooth muscle cells (SMC) proliferation likely contributes to the
Eyes with threshold retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) often show dilation of the existing tunica vasculosa lentis (TVL), which is a prognostic factor in ROP screening and treatment, but can be frequently misdiagnosed as true iris neovascularization (NV). Besides, candidemia in preterm infants can
The pathophysiology of LaPeyronie's disease (PD) is considered to be multifactorial, involving genetic predisposition, trauma, inflammation and altered wound healing. However, these factors have not yet been validated using animal models. In this study, we have presented a new model obtained by
The aim of the study is to evaluate the incidence and the echographic characteristics of minimal lesions of cavernosum corpora and tunica albuginea (TA) in subjects reporting erectile dysfunction (ED), which could suggest the suspicious of La Peyronie's disease (LPD). In total, 185 patients (pts)
Primary mesotheliomas of the tunica vaginalis testis are very rare malignant tumors. They are generally associated with exposure to asbestos. They may manifest as hydrocele, testis tumor, inguinal hernia, or epididymitis. After differential diagnosis, treatment is primarily surgical. Adjuvant
Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effect of simple tunica albugineaincision and ventral penile lengthening surgery on the correction of penile curvature due to asymmetry of the cavernous bodies in hypospadias. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed in 39 children with
Malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis, is a very rare neoplasm with highly aggressive biological behaviour. It usually occurs in patients aged between 55 and 75 years. A testicular mass is always observed, often accompanied with hydrocele. The response to chemotherapy and
A case of malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis is reported in a 77-year-old male patient. There was no history of asbestos exposure. Recurrent right hydrocele with a papillar inguinal mass was the main clinical feature. An inguinal radical orchiectomy with en bloc resection of the
Several studies have already described the presence of specialized niches of precursor cells in vasculature wall, and it has been shown that these populations share several features with mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). Considering the relevance of MSCs in the cardiovascular physiopathology and
