RESUMEN
PURPOSE: Seminal plasma was investigated as a contributor to the poor sperm motility of spinal cord injured men. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seminal plasma of spinal cord injured men was mixed with sperm of normal men and vice versa. Sperm motility was analyzed at 5 and 60 minutes after mixing. RESULTS: At 5 (but not 60) minutes seminal plasma from spinal cord injured men inhibited motility of sperm from normal men. Concomitantly, seminal plasma from normal men improved motility of sperm from spinal cord injured men. CONCLUSIONS: Seminal plasma of spinal cord injured men contributes to poor sperm motility.

We present a case of bilateral testicular epidermoid cysts. These lesions were identified in a 22-year-old male who had previously experienced mild testicular trauma. Management consisted of inguinal exploration and wedge resection on one side and transscrotal exploration and excision on the other. This case represents the second reported case of bilateral conservative management of testicular epidermoid cysts in an adult male. The etiology and management alternatives for testicular epidermoid cysts are discussed.

We report a primary squamous cell carcinoma of the prostate that developed in a 57-year-old man, 3 years after treatment with leuprolide and flutamide for Stage D1 adenocarcinoma of the prostate. This is the first case that describes this transformation from adenocarcinoma to squamous cell carcinoma following the use of luteinizing hormone agonists.
