[Epididymal and testicular metastases. 2 cases (author's transl)]

Two cases of epididymotesticular metastases are reported: one epididymal from a carcinoma of the kidney by retrograde venous spread and the other testicular secondary to a carcinoma of the prostate and apparently by arterial spread. Epididymotesticular metastases of carcinomas are rare. When the initial carcinoma is known, or even treated, the development of a large testis should lead to consideration of the possibility. Treatment should consist of inguinal orchidectomy with ligation of the spermatic cord as high as possible.

[Plasmatic thyroid hormones during treatment of hyperthyroidism by carbimazol (author's transl)]

Plasmatic concentrations of thyroxine (T4-D-) and triiodothyronine (T3 RI) were evaluated in 32 Graves' diseases on treatment by carbimazol. Among 131 measures, T4 and T3 were dissociated in 56%, with T3 more elevated than T4 in 89%. Compensated hypothyroidism was frequently seen (35%).
