TEACHING POINTS

Ultrasound remains the modality of choice for initial evaluation of the testes. The purpose of this exhibit is to:    1. Review common and uncommon benign testicular and extra-testicular masses, with emphasis on ultrasound diagnosis, pathologic correlation and clinical presentation.    2. Highlight distinguishing imaging features that guide management decisions including follow-up imaging versus surgical intervention.  

TABLE OF CONTENTS/OUTLINE

Introduction Review of normal sonographic testicular anatomy Case presentations include, but are not limited to, adrenal rests, Sertoli and Leydig cell tumors, Leydig cell hyperplasia, leiomyoma, epidermoid cyst, fibrous pseudotumor, sarcoidosis, incomplete polyorchidism, spontaneous testicular hemorrhage, and intratesticular arteriovenous malformation. Radiologic appearance based on pathology will be emphasized. Management recommendations based on ultrasound findings including when patients can be followed conservatively to ensure resolution or stability, as opposed to requiring surgical management due to neoplastic potential will be presented.
