多睾丸症の1例

Abstract

A case of the polyorchism was herein reported. A 32-year-old man was admitted to the hospital because of terminal pain on urination and right inguinal pain. Physical examination revealed two masses in the right side of the scrotum. At operation the scrotum was opened, and two masses were identified as small testes. The size of the upper testis was 19×16×15 mm, and that of the lower testis 23×20×20 mm. Biopsies disclosed hyalinized seminiferous tubules with little spermatogenesis and normal appearing epididymis. The 10 cases including our case, compiled from the Japanese literature, were reviewed and some discussion was done.
