Bilateral scrotal vasectomy with double ligature and deferent duct section was performed in 55 male Wistar rats randomly assigned to three groups: control, simulated and experimental, which were studied after 1, 2, 6, 10 and 14 weeks post-vasectomy. At 6 weeks after vasectomy testicular atrophy, destructuration of epithelium germination, absence of spermatozoa, thickening and folding of tubular membrane were observed as well as a large dilation of interstitial space, features that are all increased after 10 and 14 weeks.

Renal carcinoma natural history is unpredictable. Spontaneous metastases regression after nephrectomy, as well as late recurrence are suggestive of this peculiar human neoplasm. tumor metastases localized to thyroid gland are uncommon in clinical practice; and carcinoma of the kidney, breast, lung, melanoma and gastrointestinal tract tumors are responsible for the majority of them. This paper reports on a patient with metachronous thyroid gland metastases after fourteen years of renal carcinoma nephrectomy, with one year after hemithyroidectomy recurrence on cervical striated muscle followed by surgical excision. Therapeutical aspects are briefly reviewed in literature, emphasizing surgical treatment and the need of all-life follow-up, with more alert attitude toward thyroid gland after renal cell carcinoma nephrectomy.
