Departments of ¹ Clinical Radiology, ² Urology and ³ Pathology, University Hospital of Ioannina, Greece

View larger version (71K): [in a new window]   Figure 1. (a) Transverse ultrasound of the left hemiscrotum shows an ovoid, sharply demarcated, hypoechoic mass, measured 1.8 cm x 1.9 cm (cursors), located outside the testis (T). A small hydrocele is also seen (white arrow). (b) Colour Doppler examination shows rich tumour vascularity in the centre and at the periphery.

(a) Transverse T1 weighted image (repetition time/echo time (TR/TE), 650/15) shows a paratesticular mass (asterisk) in the left hemiscrotum, with signal intensity similar to that of testicular parenchyma (T). (b) Transverse and (c) sagittal T2 weighted fast spin-echo MR images (TR/TE, 4000/100) show the mass (asterisk) clearly as extra testicular, located at the area of the epididymis. It has lower signal intensity, compared with that of testicular parenchyma and surrounded by a low signal intensity capsule (arrow). (d) Sagittal post-contrast T1 weighted image. The mass (asterisk) enhances strongly and homogeneously.
