Ultrastructure of the tubular wall of the prepuberal cryptorchid human testis.

The tubular wall in the human prepuberal testis of cryptorchid patients has been examined by ultrastructural and histochemical analysis. When compared with the normolocated testes, a disorganization of the tubular wall due to cryptorchidism is apparent. Alterations regarding single elements of the tubular wall are described and a positive correlation seems to exist between the age and the amount of the damage. A possible relation between morphological changes and hormone therapy is discussed.

Adolescent

[Primary carcinoid of the testis. Clinical case].

A very rare case of carcinoid of the testicle combined with teratoma is illustrated. In fact the literature of the last twenty years reports only eleven cases of carcinoid of the testicle, of which only four combined with teratoma. It is stressed that it is possible that these neoplasias arise on already existing teratomas which may be very small and hence not always evidenced.

Adult

[Glomus tumors in unusual sites].

Two cases of glomus tumour in unusual sites are described. Their indistinct symptomatology, site and histological polymorphism are made the basis of a general discussion of the histogenesis and possible ongoing pictures of glomus tumours, the classification of which is also felt to be unsatisfactory.
