The Role of Estrogen Modulators in Male Hypogonadism and Infertility

Amarnath Rambhatla, MD, Jesse N. Mills, MD, Jacob Rajfer, MD

Estradiol has been targeted by male reproductive and sexual medicine specialists to help treat conditions such as infertility and hypogonadism. The compounds that modulate estradiol levels in these clinical conditions are referred to as selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) and aromatase inhibitors (AIs). This review focuses on the role SERMs and AIs play in male hypogonadism and infertility.

Case Reviews 
 

Endoscopic Management of Bladder Diverticula

Khanh N. Pham, MD, Claudio Jeldres, MD, Thomas Hefty, MD, John M. Corman, MD

The authors report the successful treatment of a large bladder diverticulum with endoscopic fulguration to near-complete resolution. This minimally invasive technique is a useful alternative in patients unfit for a more extensive surgical approach.

 

Tubulocystic Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Great Imitator

Indraneel Banerjee, MS, MCh, Sher Singh Yadav, MS, MCh, Vinay Tomar, MS, MCh, Suresh Yadav, MS, MCh, Shyam Talreja, MS, MCh

The authors report a case of tubulocystic renal cell carcinoma initially presented as a Bosniak type II renal cyst and was discovered ultimately to be a metastatic disease. This type of presentation can broaden our understanding of this rare disease.
