Description

Testis weight and size of Japanese were investigated on 651 necropsy cases acquired during the years 1974 to 1984 at the department of forensic medicine, school of medicine, Tokai university. Measurements of materials were carried out within 24 hours after sudden death. However, cases with some testis lesions in the past history and with apparent abnormal testis were excluded. On the average, the right testes were larger than the left ones in weight and width in all the age groups. The mean values of testis measurement in adult age (from 20 to 49 years) were as follows: The left testis weight was 14.53±4.07gr, longitudinal length 4.51±0.64cm, transverse length 3.04±0.43cm and width 1.47±0.3cm. In the right testis the weight was 15.35±4.26g, longitudinal length 4.53±0.61cm, transverse length 3.50±0.4cm, and width 1.55±0.33cm. The age group of thirties showed the maximum values in testis weight, longitudinal length and transverse length, of all age groups.
