Retracted testis mimicking lymphomatous recurrence: CT demonstration.

D R Neumann, A E Pearlstein

    Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography
    |January 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    A retracted testicle due to cold exposure mimicked an inguinal mass. This cremasteric reflex presentation could be mistaken for lymphomatous recurrence, highlighting a diagnostic challenge.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • The cremasteric reflex is a superficial reflex that elevates the testicle.
    • Inguinal masses can represent various pathologies, including malignancy and benign conditions.

    Observation:

    • A case presented with a testicle retracted by the cremasteric reflex in response to cold.
    • This retraction resulted in a palpable inguinal mass.

    Findings:

    • The retracted testicle mimicked a lymphomatous recurrence in the inguinal region.
    • Cold-induced cremasteric reflex can create a clinically significant inguinal mass.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis is crucial to avoid misinterpreting this benign phenomenon as malignancy.
    • Awareness of the cremasteric reflex is important in the differential diagnosis of inguinal masses.
