Testicular Germ Cell Tumors<br />

(Left) Longitudinal grayscale<br />

ultrasound of the testis in a<br />

patient with a cystic teratoma<br />

shows a complex<br />

heterogeneous mass with<br />

cystic areas ſt of varying sizes<br />

<strong>and</strong> small echogenic foci .<br />

(Right) Transverse color<br />

Doppler ultrasound of both<br />

testes in a side-by-side<br />

configuration shows a rightsided<br />

teratoma with cystic<br />

spaces <strong>and</strong> associated<br />

increased vascularity .<br />

Diagnoses: Scrotum<br />

(Left) Transverse color<br />

Doppler ultrasound of the<br />

testis demonstrates a poorly<br />

defined hypoechoic mass <br />

with internal vascularity. The<br />

mass invades the tunica<br />

albuginea ſt <strong>and</strong> involves the<br />

scrotal wall. (Right)<br />

Longitudinal grayscale<br />

ultrasound of the testis shows<br />

a heterogeneous well-defined<br />

mass with cystic ſt as well as<br />

hypoechoic areas .<br />

Pathology revealed a mixed<br />

germ cell tumor with<br />

choriocarcinoma <strong>and</strong> mature<br />

teratoma.<br />

(Left) Longitudinal color<br />

Doppler ultrasound of the<br />

right testis with multifocal<br />

seminoma shows multiple<br />

hypoechoic masses with<br />

background microlithiasis st,<br />

predominantly peripheral<br />

vascularity , <strong>and</strong> minimal<br />

internal vascularity within the<br />

hypoechoic masses. (Right)<br />

Axial CECT of the mid<br />

abdomen shows a<br />

conglomerate of metastatic<br />

paraaortic <strong>and</strong> retroperitoneal<br />

low-density lymph nodes st in<br />

a patient with testicular<br />

cancer.<br />
