title: [Gamma-chamber testicular scintigraphy in the combined diagnosis of Morris' syndrome].
abstract: The authors examined 15 patients with the syndrome of Morris by gamacamarated scintigraphy and they succeeded in depicting the gonads, found in the abdomen and their topographic localization. Grave structural changes were established in the testes during the performance of gamacamerated scintigraphy, but in 3 patients only one testis was depicted, which suggested atrophy and lack of functional parenchyma in the gonad, which was not discovered. Conclusive scintigraphic examination of topographic localization as well as of structural disturbances of the parenchyma of the testis replaced testicular biopsy, which requires laparotomy. Gamacamerated scintigraphy could establish malignant growth of the gonad and could help to remove it in time by operation.
