Epididymitis Complicated by Testicular Infarction: A Case Report

Testicular infarction is caused most commonly by acute testicular torsion, but rarely by epididymitis. We report color Doppler sonographic findings and Doppler spectrum in a 56-year-old man with epididymitis that was complicated by testicular infarction.

Granulosa Cell Tumor of Scrotal Tunics: A Case Report

We report a case of adult granulosa cell tumor arising in the scrotal tunics. The patient was a 34-year-old man who presented with right scrotal swelling, first noticed four months previously. Under the initial clinical impression of epididymo-orchitis, antibiotic treatment was instituted but there was no response. The paratesticular nodules revealed by ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging mimicked intratesticular lesion, and radical orchiectomy was performed. Although several cases of adult testicular granulosa cell tumor, have been reported, the occurrence of this entity in the paratesticular area has not, as far as we are aware, been previously described.

Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma Arising from the Intrascrotal Extratesticular Soft Tissue: A Case Report

Intrascrotal extratesticular malignancies are rare, and the radiologic findings of extraskeletal chondrosarcoma have not been reported. We describe the radiologic findings of a case of mesenchymal chondrosarcoma arising from intrascrotal extratesticular soft tissue and represented by a complex, cystic, solid mass containing calcifications and hematoma.

Exophytic Adenocarcinoma of the Rete Testis Mimicking Paratesticular Mass: A Case Report

Adenocarcinoma of the rete testis arising in the mediastinum testis is a rare, highly malignant neoplasm. Wedescribe one such case in a 25-year-old male who presented with a palpable right scrotal mass which metasta-sizedto the right inguinal lymph node eight months later. Ultrasonography of this tumor showed a complex cystic andsolid mass in the swollen right scrotum, which was separate from the right testis. Ultrasonographic and clinicalfindings suggested that the mass was, indeed, paratesticular. Surgical pathology following right radicalorchiectomy and hemiscrotectomy, however, confirmed the presence of an exophytic adenocarcinoma of the retetestis. A pelvic CT performed to evaluate a right inguinal mass, which was palpated eight months later, revealed amainly cystic mass in the right inguinal area. Metastasis was confirmed by biopsy.

Mesothelioma of Scrotum: A Case Report

Localized fibrous tumor of the scrotum is a very rare disease, and few radiologic features have been reported. We report the sonographic and CT findings of a case of localized fibrous tumor, which developed in the scrotum of a thirty-years-old man.

Adenomatoid Tumor of Epididymis: US Findings

PURPOSE: To evaluate the US findings of epididymal adenomatoid tumor. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Were trospectively reviewed US findings of four patients with histopathologically proven epididymal adenomatoidtumors. Lesions were evaluated for their size, location, margin, shape and echogenicity. RESULTS: The size of thetumors ranged between 0.5cm and 2cm and all occurred on the left side of the epididymis. Of the four cases, three were located at the tail of the epididymis and one at its head. The tumors were well marginated and spherical andecho-texture was variable but homogenous. CONCLUSION: The possibility of and adenomatoid tumor should be considered when the epididymal mass is round and has a clear margin and the echo-texture of ultrasound ishomogenous.
