Two cases of parameatal urethral cyst were experienced in the past two years. In both cases, the parameatal cystic tumors had been noticed since childhood. A clinical survey, such as incidence, therapy and pathology was made on 32 cases reported in the Japanese literature between 1919 and 1983.

Seminal plasma transferrin concentration has been reported a useful clinical marker for Sertoli cell function. In the present study, to investigate if transferrin production in the testis is decreased in oligozoospermic men associated with visible varicocele, seminal plasma transferrin concentrations in two groups -12 normozoospermic fertile men and 14 oligozoospermic varicocele patients--were measured and the values compared. Seminal plasma transferrin concentration in the oligozoospermic varicocele group was 29.9 +/- 6.8 micrograms/mL, and the concentration in the normozoospermic fertile group was 75.5 +/- 39.3 micrograms/mL. There was a significant difference between the two groups (P less than .001). The results indicate that transferrin production in the testis of oligozoospermic varicocele patients must be decreased, and also suggest that decreased transferrin production may be related to disturbed spermatogenesis in varicocele patients.
