Challenges in diagnosis and management of perineal hypospadias with a testicular seminoma mimicking paratesticular tumor in a solitary testis: A case report. Urol Case Rep 2022; 43:102050. [PMID: 35342714 PMCID: PMC8943400 DOI: 10.1016/j.eucr.2022.102050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2022] [Revised: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 03/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Diagnosing and managing perineal hypospadias in patient with a suspected paratesticular seminoma in a solitary testis may be challenging. We describe a case of 26-year-old male presented with painless left scrotal swelling with hypospadias and chordee. The patient underwent two-staged surgery: chordectomy and open inguinal testicular biopsy followed by urethroplasty and radical orchidectomy.

Abstract
Primary extratesticular seminomas exceptionally occur in the epididymis or in the paratesticular region/spermatic cord. Some old papers included poor histological description or insufficient photographic documentation, reducing the number of faithful cases: an up-to-date systematic review is lacking. We report the 4th primary seminoma of the paratesticular region/spermatic cord in a 35-year-old man, including the first echographic description. We provide review of the literature and etiopathogenetic discussion. Ultrasound examination showed a right paratesticular, solid, heterogeneous mass (iso-hypoechoic with hyperechoic striae; peri- and intra-lesional vascular signals) with no testicular involvement: the paratesticular origin was confirmed by pathological examination. Despite careful gross examination and extensive sampling, the 6.5-cm extratesticular tumor revealed only one microscopic focus with minimal invasion (<2 mm) of the atrophic testicular parenchyma. Intratubular germ cell neoplasia or morphologic features of a regressed testicular tumor (fibrosis/scar, necrosis, hyalinization, calcification, inflammation) were not found. Primary seminomas of the paratesticular region/spermatic cord occurred at an older mean age and presented as bigger lesions if compared to the 9 primary epididymal seminomas reported in literature. Clinical-pathological correlation and accurate sampling are mandatory for a correct diagnosis.

An 8-wk, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial for the antidiabetic effects of hydrolyzed ginseng extract. J Ginseng Res 2014; 38:239-43. [PMID: 25379002 PMCID: PMC4213818 DOI: 10.1016/j.jgr.2014.05.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2014] [Revised: 04/30/2014] [Accepted: 05/11/2014] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the antidiabetic effects of hydrolyzed ginseng extract (HGE) for Korean participants in an 8-wk, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial. METHODS Impaired fasting glucose participants [fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ≥ 5.6mM or < 6.9mM] who had not been diagnosed with any disease and met the inclusion criteria were recruited for this study. The 23 participants were randomly divided into either the HGE (n = 12, 960 mg/d) or placebo (n = 11) group. Outcomes included measurements of efficacy (FPG, postprandial glucose, fasting plasma insulin, postprandial insulin, homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance, and homeostatic model assessment-β) and safety (adverse events, laboratory tests, electrocardiogram, and vital signs). RESULTS After 8 wk of HGE supplementation, FPG and postprandial glucose were significantly decreased in the HGE group compared to the placebo group. No clinically significant changes in any safety parameter were observed. Our study revealed that HGE is a potent antidiabetic agent that does not produce noticeable adverse effects. CONCLUSION HGE supplementation may be effective for treating impaired fasting glucose individuals.

Primary paratesticular seminoma - A case report. Int J Surg Case Rep 2012; 3:526-8.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Paratesticular tumours are rare. Rhabdomyosarcomas are the commonest malignant paratesticular tumours although tumours can arise from any paratesticular structure. Here we report a case of a primary paratesticular seminoma and a review of the literature. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 42 year old man presented with a right scrotal mass. Histology revealed a paratesticular seminoma. Following a radical orchidectomy, there was no evidence of testicular seminoma. DISCUSSION Primary paratesticular seminoma in the absence of testicular seminoma is extremely rare. CONCLUSION After a thorough review of the literature, this is, to our knowledge only the second reported case of a primary paratesticular seminoma.
