Overview

Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of testicular cancer. Findings on ultrasound suggestive of testicular cancer mass include well defined well circumscribed hypoechoic lesion for seminomas; calcification, cystic spaces, and heterogeneous for nonseminomatous germ cell tumors.

Ultrasound

  • Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of testicular cancer. Findings on ultrasound suggestive of testicular cancer mass include:[1][2][3][4]

Germ cell testicular tumor

Seminomas

    • Well defined hypoechoic lesion
    • Homogeneous
    • Lack of cystic lesion

Embryonal carcinoma:[5]

    • Irregular Calcification
    • Cystic areas
    • Heterogeneous
    • Hypoechoic mass

Yolk Sac tumor[6][7]

    • Hypervascular testicular mass
    • Isoechoid
    • Well-circumscribed
    • Homogenous, ovoid

Choriocarcinoma[8]

  • Hemorraghic and necrotic
  • calcified and cystic
  • It is used to confirm that there is a tumor in the testicle and check its size, shape, location and density.
  • Ultrasound can help to distinguish benign tumors from malignant ones.

Sex cord stromal testicular tumor

Leydig cell tumor[9]

  • Well defined
  • hypoechoid and cystic mass

calcified
