cystic lesions of the testes

Testicular cystic lesions are a relatively common occurrence on testicular ultrasound. They result from widely variable pathological entities ranging from benign to malignant. These entities include:

• simple testicular cyst
• tunica albuginea cyst (mesothelial cyst)
• cystic transformation of rete testis (intratesticular tubular ectasia)
• intratesticular spermatocele
• intratesticular varicocele
• testicular epidermoid cyst (epidermoid inclusion cyst)
• intratesticular dermoid cyst
• testicular abscess
• cystadenoma of the rete testis
• testicular tumors: a sizable proportion of tumors (≈23% ) can have cystic components.
• cystic dysplasia of the testis  (rare)
