Before You Begin
This module is intended primarily for pre-clinical studentslearning or reviewing pathophysiology.
Please note that this series will focus on how pathology presents in imaging studies. It assumes familiarity with fundamental anatomy. If you need to learn or review this core concept, please visit the “Anatomy” section of our website.
If material is repeated from another module, it will be outlined as this text is so that you are aware

Radiographic appearance of the normal testicle
Testes initially form in the lumbar region of the abdomen and successfully migrate to the scrotum 97% of the time for full-term male infants. Most testis that are undescended at birth (cryptorchidism) move to the scrotum at 3 months
The testicles are superficial organs and are best initially imaged with high frequency ultrasound (no radiation)
Testicular echotexture should be homogeneous
Doppler flow can be assessed/confirmed within the testicular parenchyma

Ultrasound work up for a scrotal lump
1. Intratesticular or extra testicular?
Extratesticular lesions are more commonly
benign
Intratesticular lesions are more commonly
malignant
2. Solid or cystic (see “intro to rad path” module for review)
Solid intratesticular lesions are worrisome
3. Single or multiple?
If multiple, think mets/lymphoma (intro to rad path)

Testicular Tumors
Solid intratesticular mass with internal vascularity represents a testicular tumor until proven otherwise
Can be divided into seminomatous and nonseminomatous tumors
Remember that the testes originated in the perilumbar region. Lymphatic drainage follows venous drainage such that testicular malignancies will drain into the para-aortic nodes

Testicular Cancer Fake Outs:Blood and Pus
Intratesticular abscess mimicking a tumor. Color Doppler US image shows a 2-cm intratesticular mass
with internal echoes, no definite internal blood flow, and perilesional hyperemia (solid arrow). A
complex hydrocele is also visible (dashed arrow). The intratesticular lesion did not resolve after
intravenous antibiotic therapy, and the patient underwent orchiectomy. Photomicrograph (original
magnification, ×100; H-E stain) of the specimen shows purulent debris.

Which testicle is abnormal?
18-year-old male, who was awoken from
sleep with severe left testicular pain. US
demonstrates no flow in the left testicle.
Notice the normal flow in the right testicle.
The urologist was able to detorse the
testicle and restore flow to the testicle
which “pinked up” in the operating room.

Which side is abnormal?

Epididymo-orchitis
• Epididymitis is inflammation of the epididymis and may extend into the testis like this case
• Infectious process that usually originates in the bladder or prostate gland, extends through the lymphatics of the spermatic cord to the epididymis and may reach the testis
• Presents as mild tenderness to a severe febrile process with unilateral pain
• The involved epididymis is usually enlarged and hypervascular

Testicular Rupture

There is no Doppler flow to the shattered left testicle (compare this with the normal
flow to the right testicle). Also the testicular parenchyma is amorphous (i.e. it is
difficult to draw a line around the border of the testicle).

Testicular Pathology Summary
Remember the ultrasound work up:
1. Intra or extra testicular?
2. Solid or cystic?
3. Single or multiple?
4. Is there flow?
Solid intratesticular mass represents tumor until proven otherwise
