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)
