Solid testicular masses are presumed malignant until proven otherwise. This review covers the imaging and management of atypical testicular masses that present diagnostic challenges.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Radiology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Solid hypoechoic testicular masses require a high index of suspicion for malignancy, regardless of palpability.
  • Accurate clinical diagnosis relies on lesion appearance, host response, patient history, and physical examination.

Observation:

  • Serum tumor markers (alpha-fetoprotein, human chorionic gonadotrophin) and scrotal ultrasound are crucial complementary diagnostic tools.
  • High-resolution MRI with surface coils can offer valuable insights in specific cases.

Findings:

  • Atypical testicular masses present diagnostic and management challenges when clinical or imaging findings deviate from typical presentations.
  • This article details the imaging and management approach for a patient with an atypical testicular mass.

Implications:

  • Understanding atypical presentations is vital for timely and appropriate management of testicular cancer.
  • This case highlights the importance of integrating imaging, clinical findings, and tumor markers for complex testicular mass evaluation.
