    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Urology
    • Genetics

    Context:

    • Small testicles can be a normal finding in prepubertal boys.
    • However, they can also indicate underlying medical conditions affecting sexual development and reproductive health.

    Purpose:

    • This abstract reviews the diverse etiologies of small testicles.
    • It aims to provide a comprehensive overview for clinicians managing male reproductive health issues.

    Summary:

    • Causes include premature sexual development (pseudopuberty) due to adrenal androgens, testicular atrophy from infections (mumps), trauma (torsion), systemic diseases (liver cirrhosis, alcoholism), medications, irradiation, and cryptorchidism.
    • Klinefelter syndrome (XXY/47) is highlighted as a frequent cause, leading to hypogonadism, sterility, and an increased risk of male breast cancer.
