Study Notes
Testicular Infections, Torsion, and Cancer Overview
- Acute epididymo-orchitis presents with pain and swollen epididymis, caused by inflammation and neutrophil predominance
- Management involves culture and sensitivity testing, raised C-Reactive Protein, ultrasound scans, and treatment with antibiotics, pain relief, and scrotal elevation
- Chronic cases may require inpatient care and can lead to scarring and sterility
- Torsion is a urological emergency resulting from twisting of the spermatic cord, leading to testicular infarction
- Torsion presents with sudden testicular pain and must be "untwisted" within 6 hours to preserve testis viability
- Testicular cancer is the most common solid malignant tumor in men aged 30-34, with a higher incidence in Caucasian men
- Causes of testicular cancer include cryptorchidism, previous testicular cancer, genetic abnormalities, family history, infertility, and exposure to estrogen
- Germ cell tumors, including seminomatous and non-seminomatous types, account for over 90% of testicular cancers
- Seminomas grow slowly and are classified into classical and spermatocytic subtypes, affecting different age groups
- Non-seminomatous germ cell tumors typically occur in men in their late teens and early 30s and include embryonal carcinoma, yolk sac tumor, choriocarcinoma, and teratoma
- Each type of non-seminomatous germ cell tumor has distinct characteristics, growth patterns, and prognosis
- Teratomas, derived from 3 germ cell layers, can be mature or immature, with varying potential for spreading and recurrence
Pathological Conditions of the Testes and Testicular Cancer
- A 41-year-old man's testes showed severe inflammation due to complications of enterocolitis and abscess formation, leading to testis removal.
- Torsion, a urological emergency, results from twisting of the testicular venous drainage and causes sudden testicular pain.
- Delayed treatment of torsion can lead to testicular infection and necrosis, requiring surgical intervention within 6 hours for viability.
- Torsion management includes fixation of the affected testis and preventive measures for the contralateral testis to reduce the risk of torsion.
- A 74-year-old man experienced testicular pain following drainage of a hydrocele, a collection of fluids around the testes, leading to a differential diagnosis of epididymitis.
- Antibiotic treatment for the 74-year-old man's condition failed, and subsequent examination revealed a necrotic testis with hemorrhagic appearance and infiltrates.
- Testicular cancer is the most common solid malignant tumor in men aged 30 to 30 years, with a higher incidence in Caucasian men than in black men.
- Testicular cancer accounts for less than 1% of new cancers in the UK, with a 28% increase in incidence since the early 1990s.
- Causes of testicular cancer include patient-related factors such as cryptorchidism, previous testicular cancer history, and genetic abnormalities like Klinefelter syndrome and Down's syndrome.
- Patients with cryptorchidism and intra-abdominal testes have a significantly higher risk of testicular cancer compared to those with normal testicular anatomy.
- Environmental factors play a minimal role in the development of testicular cancer, with patient-related factors being the primary contributors.
- Genetic abnormalities, such as Klinefelter syndrome and Down's syndrome, increase the risk of developing testicular cancer.
