Clinics in diagnostic imaging (134). Testicular lymphoma

Singapore Med J. 2011 Mar;52(3):204-8.

Abstract

A 55-year-old man presented with a painless right scrotal mass for the past three months. Scrotal ultrasonography showed a large circumscribed hypoechoic mass with marked hypervascularity occupying almost the entire right testis. The epididymis and scrotal skin were normal. Right radical orchiectomy was performed. Histopathology revealed lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell type confined within the tunica albuginea. The patient made a good postoperative recovery. No evidence of lymphoma in other organs was demonstrated. We discuss the differential diagnosis of ultrasonographic intratesticular masses and highlight various cases of intratesticular lesions in this article.
