Diffuse testicular disease: sonographic features and significance.

B R Subramanyam, S C Horii, S Hilton

    AJR. American Journal of Roentgenology
    |December 1, 1985

    Summary

    Ultrasound can differentiate testicular tumors from inflammation. Neoplasms show enlarged, globular testes with abnormal texture, while inflammation affects the epididymis and scrotal skin.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Urology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Distinguishing diffuse testicular neoplasms from inflammatory conditions like orchitis or infarcts using imaging is crucial for appropriate patient management.
    • Sonography is the primary imaging modality for evaluating testicular pathology.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify sonographic features that differentiate diffuse testicular neoplasms from diffuse orchitis or infarcts.
    • To improve diagnostic accuracy in cases of diffuse testicular disease.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of sonographic findings in 26 patients with diffuse testicular disease.
    • Correlation of imaging features with final diagnoses (neoplasm, orchitis, or infarct).

    Main Results:

    • Diffuse neoplasms were associated with moderate to marked testicular enlargement, globular shape, lobulated contour, and heterogeneous texture.
    • The epididymis and scrotal skin were typically normal in neoplastic cases.
    • Diffuse inflammatory disease showed mild to moderate testicular enlargement with preserved oval shape and smooth contour.
    • Homogeneous testicular texture was common in inflammation, with frequent epididymal enlargement and thickened scrotal skin.

    Conclusions:

    • Specific sonographic features can help differentiate diffuse testicular neoplasms from inflammatory conditions.
    • Sonographic evaluation of testicular size, shape, contour, texture, and involvement of surrounding structures is key to diagnosis.
