simple testicular cyst

Simple testicular cysts are usually nonpalpable and thus are detected incidentally.

Testicular cysts require no treatment when discovered.

Radiographic features

Ultrasound

• well-marginated
• imperceptible wall
• anechoic with posterior acoustic enhancement
• no flow on color Doppler

MRI

• follows the signal characteristics of fluid on all pulse sequences
• lack of enhancement on post-contrast sequences

Careful inspection is warranted to differentiate these from cystic testicular neoplasms, such as cystic teratoma.
