Normal vs. Cancerous Testicle

Video Transcript

"Hello, my name is Dr. Susan Jewell. Now, in this clip I'm going to show you some pictures; one of a normal growth picture of the anatomy of the testicles, and also I'm going to show a picture of a testicle that has testicular cancer. And this particular type of testicular cancer is seminoma. So let's look at a picture of the gross pathology of a testicle. Here, you can see a color picture. This area here represents the testicle mass itself, and it's surrounded by the spermatic cord, runs up here in the epididymis. Which, actually, the epididymis runs up here, where the semen actually is produced in the testicle, and then it transverse up. It's ejaculated out of this duct here, the spermatic cord, and then it joins the penis gland. Now, this is the normal. Now, here is a picture of testicular cancer, where the area of the testicle itself has all these tumorous growth, as you can see here. This represents the cancer and has actually covered the whole of the testicle itself. Here is the cord that joins up to the penis gland area. So, this is the normal testicle and this is the cancerous tumor, covering the testicle itself."
