Lymphangioma of the Spermatic Cord and Tunica Vaginalis in Children

Nine mesotheliomas were found in a group of 384 mature, male, Fischer-derived rats maintained on various experimental diets in long-term feeding studies. The tumors apparently were unrelated to any of the test materials. They ranged from solid, raised serosal growths to delicate papillary structures, and occurred primarily on the tunica vaginalis propria of the testis, epididymis and spermatic cord. Four of the nine cases were unusual because there was mesotheliomatous involvement of the peritoneal as well as of the genital mesothelium.

Apparently Healthy

The experiment was carried out to detect the blood serum testosterone concentration after orchiectomy in Black Bengal bucks (Capra hircus). Twelve apparently healthy bucks of 8 - 10 months old were randomly divided into two groups. Group A were castrated surgically through open uncover method and group B remained intact. Local analgesia (2% lidocaine hydrochloride) @ 0.5 mL per spermatic cord and 0.5 mL at the tip of each scrotum were applied initially in all bucks. After aseptic preparation, incision was given at the tip of the scrotum and tunica vaginalis was incised to exteriorize the testis. Anchoring was done at the spermatic cord followed by orchiectomy. The scrotal raphe was incised to reach the other testis and the same procedure was followed. Blood samples were collected from jugular vein before orchiectomy and on day 30. In the castrated bucks, serum testosterone concentration was significantly (P<0.01) decreased from day 0 (6.1 ± 0.2 ng/mL) to day 30 (0.6 ± 0.0 ng/mL), which confirmed the efficacy of castration.Bangl. vet. 2016.

Supporting Structures

Paratesticular tumours are tumours arising from within the scrotum not of testicular origin. They may originate from the epididymis, spermatic cord, tunica vaginalis and other supporting structures. Preoperative diagnosis can be difficult as benign and malignant cases are often indistinguishable and may be confused with other benign or malignant pathology (testicular tumours or hernias).We describe the presentation and management of a patient managed at our centre (a tertiary referral teaching hospital).A high index of suspicion for malignancy should be considered when managing atypical scrotal lumps to ensure optimal management. This is particularly important when managing sarcomas due to the risk of local recurrence and spread.

Indication For Treatment

Introduction: Adult idiopathic hydrocele is a common benign disorder that merits surgical correction when symptomatic. The most popular techniques for repair are plication (Lord’s procedure) or excision and eversion of the tunica vaginalis (Jaboulay procedure). Established complications from these traditional repairs include hematoma, recurrence, and infection. These procedures are performed through a scrotal incision. We describe a novel technique of hydrocele repair with gubernaculum preservation through a subinguinal incision.Methods: The novel technique is described in detail. A retrospective review was performed of those patients treated by a single surgeon with the subinguinal technique. Demographic information, indication for treatment, success rate, and details regarding complications were collected.Results: We term the technique the “Snip, Stitch & Tug” repair. Through a small subinguinal incision, the tunica is everted posterior to the spermatic cord and testis without resection of the hydrocele sac or division of the gubernaculum. Twelve patients with postoperative followup were identified. Eleven patients (92%) treated with the novel technique were cured. There was only one complication (superficial wound infection) recorded after this technique.Conclusions: Idiopathic hydrocele repair with gubernaculum preservation can be easily and safely performed through a small subinguinal incision.

Histopathologic Analysis

Objectives: The objective of this study is to evaluate the diagnosis and prognosis of malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis through an additional 6 patients with urogenital mesothelioma.Methods: Six patients with urogenital mesothelioma who underwent adequate surgical procedures and histopathologic analysis from 1990 to 2009 were identified and retrospectively reviewed.Results: Six patients between the ages of 26 and 78 years with urogenital mesothelioma, 5 of which originated in the scrotum and 1 in the spermatic cord. Histopathologic analysis showed that CK5/6 and calretinin were positive in all cases, 5 cases were positive for vimentin, and 1 case showed focal weak positive reaction with MOC3, but none of the cases stained for CEA or CD15. The overall recurrence rate of urogenital mesothelioma after surgery was 5/6, including local recurrences and fatalities due to tumour.Conclusions: In cases of mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis, the histopathologic markers we chose helped conﬁrm the histopathological diagnosis; adequate surgical procedures are typically not curative, and this tumour is often fatal.

Wolffian Body

In this paper the author gives an account of certain tubular and vesicular bodies which he has discovered in the spermatic cord, and which he considers to be the remains of the Wolffian body of the embryo. The structures in question, which he proposes to designate collectively by the term “Corps Innominé,” form a small group situated behind the tunica vaginalis, between that membrane and the spermatic vessels, and extending usually from the head of the epididymis as high as the point where the membrane is reflected forwards from the cord; sometimes, however, reaching much higher up, or, on the other hand, being more concentrated in the neighbourhood of the epididymis.

First Time

Although the presence of annulate lamellae was noted in many cell types, including the rat spermatogenic cells, this structure was never reported in the Sertoli cells of any rodent species. The present report is based on a part of our project on the effect of torsion of the spermatic cord to the contralateral testis. This paper describes for the first time, the fine structural details of the annulate lamellae in the Sertoli cells of damaged testis from guinea pigs.One side of the spermatic cord of each of six Hartly strain adult guinea pigs was surgically twisted (540°) under pentobarbital anesthesia (1). Four months after induction of torsion, animals were sacrificed, testes were excised and processed for the light and electron microscopic investigations. In the damaged testis, the majority of seminiferous tubule contained a layer of Sertoli cells with occasional spermatogonia (Fig. 1). Nuclei of these Sertoli cells were highly pleomorphic and contained small chromatinic clumps adjacent to the inner aspect of the nuclear envelope (Fig. 2).
