Abstract: The authors generated age-specific nomogram of the testicular volume with centiles and standard deviations to Indian children up to 8 years of age.[1] Based on the following methodological limitation, I assume that the clinical implication of that constructed nomogram must be exercised cautiously.It is explicit that there are ethnic differences in testicular size.[2] India is a country with a unique admixture of different ethnicities.The authors did not address, in the study methodology, the ethnic standards of the studied pediatric population.[1] Hence, I assume that age-and ethnicity-specific normative values of the testis size ought to be formulated.Despite the aforementioned limitation, the constructed reference values represent a useful tool in assessing testicular health in pediatric clinical settings and researches.
