Hi,

PJS males have  a high rate of testicular tumors, less risk of prostate problems. The testicular tumors are usually benign (not cancer) but can lead to hormonal problems like gynecomastia (breast swelling).

There are many PJS people at acor.org, a free online support group sponsored by a nonprofit health organization. Please join us or write to me one-to-one at ***@****

The surgical, procedure, is due to alot of calsification build up, they are going to do a dual insicion and lift his testicles (Bilateral tor...) and try to remove some of the calcification that reflects a 60 year old man, he does have pelvic pain, I beleive they are going to check his PSA levels and a biopsy as well while in the procedure. In May he was examined and there was an olive size mass in his testicle area and had an ultrasound, 30 days after that he was seen in the ER and another ultrasound was done they found multilple level of calcification, tortion of the testicle and verecosees..?
They believe this is happening so rapidly due to him having PJS
This will be done at Childrens Hospital In Philli.
I apologize in advance for my mispelling.

I have a few questions before I can answer yours.
What is the surgical procedure?
Are you having and urinary problems or pelvic pain?
Have you had your PSA checked or prostate bioposy?

There is one study that has described the gene causing Peutz-Jeghers syndrome being linked to prostate cancer in mouse models.
