Abstract:
Four adolescent males were submitted to hormonal and psychological evaluation 3-8 years after bone marrow transplant. All presented testicular failure, two were submitted to orchiectomy. Androgen replacement therapy was begun at 13 yr 7 mo-17 yr. A psychological evaluation has been performed. Orchiectomy and insertion of artificial testicles do not seem to have affected patients' psychological situation. Individual differences have been found due to many causes.
