INTRODUCTION Testicular cancer is the most common malignancy in men aged 15-40 years [Bols et al.: Philadelphia, Wolters Kluwer, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2011]. Its incidence comprises 0.8% of all male cancers worldwide, with a mortality rate of 0.1%. The incidence has nearly doubled from 1975 to 2007 leading to the concern of environmental causes [Thomas: Am J Epidemiol 2013; 178: 1240-1...

Intratesticular arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an extremely rare benign testicular lesion. Ultrasonography (US) usually reveals a hypoechoic solid vascular mass within the testicular parenchyma. Herein, we report our experience with a young patient in whom an intratesticular AVM was found incidentally by US during the workup of scrotal trauma.

Xanthogranulomatous reaction is uncommon non neoplastic reaction involving multiple organs, commonly kidney and gallbladder. Its rarely involve testicle. We report 69-year old man present to clinic with right testicular swelling for six month duration. Testicular markers within normal range. Us scrotum revealed right large avascular heterogeneous mass inside testicle. Right inguinal orchiectomy...

Yolk sac tumor is the most common tumor of testis in children below 3 years. Most of these tumors present as painless, enlarged testicular masses. They are most frequently associated with elevated alpha fetoprotein (AFP) levels. We report a case of yolk sac tumor in an 11 month old child who presented as a painless testicular mass.

Splenogonadal fusion is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by congenital fusion between the spleen and testicular tissue. In the literature, there are approximately 175 reported cases, and most of them are associated with cryptorchidism. In this article, we report an unusual case of splenogonadal fusion that was pre-diagnosed as a solid testicular mass in a patient who underwent orchiectomy.

A 30-day-old neonate was brought to our hospital due to testicular neoplasm in the right scrotum. Scrotal ultrasonography revealed a mixed cystic and solid mass in the testis. Analysis of testicular tumor markers was negative. Scrotal exploration was performed. A red nodular tumor was removed from the testis by surgery. Histological examination of the specimen showed it to be hemangiolymphangio...

We describe the case of a 13-year-old boy with testicular epidermoid cyst who presented with a painless testicular mass. Epidermoid cyst of the testis is a benign, non-teratomatous tumor. It is often possible to make the diagnosis preoperatively, combining typical sonographic features with normal biochemical tumor markers. Preoperative diagnosis will allow for testis-sparing surgery and prevent...

Enterogenous cyst is a rare congenital lesion generally located in the mediastinum or the abdominal cavity. We reported the first case of testicular enterogenous cyst in a 55-year-old white male presented with testicular pain and a gradually enlarging left scrotal mass with a 2-week duration.
