Abstract

Ultrasonography (US) is usually the initial modality to evaluate pathological conditions of testes including benign intratesticular cysts. US allows characterization of intratesticular cysts and differentiation from a solid mass. A simple intratesticular cyst is usually not palpable in contrast to a peripherally located cyst of tunica albuginea. An epidermoid cyst has a classic onion-ring appearance. An intratesticular spermatocele communicates with the seminiferous tubules, whereas simple ectasia of the rete testis does not do so directly. Color doppler US is helpful to diagnose intratesticular varicocele and intratesticular abscesses.
