[The urocytogram in male endocrine exploration]

The urocytogramm is a method of cytohormonal diagnosis carried out on urinary sediment cells, coming from the vesical trigone. This trigone epithelium is a target of sex hormons. This work done among cryptorchids adolescents always shows a non explained hormonal stimulation, with an intermediary type urocytogramm ; wether some aged boys, the urocytogramm is atrophic as for normal man. On the otherhand, adults received estrogens as a treatment for prostate carcinome have a superficial type urocytogramm : the more important is the hormonal response, the better is the pronostic.
