Testicular schistosomiasis is extremely rare, with only 12 cases reported. Reaching the diagnosis for this lesion that mimics malignant tumor is a great dilemma for the radiologist as well as the urologist. We report a case of testicular schistosomiasis from France that was managed conservatively. A 31- year-old Egyptian male presented to the outpatient clinic with primary infertility for 9 years. Physical examination revealed healthy male without any congenital malformations. Blood count and C-reactive protein level were normal. Hormonal tests were normal. Scrotal ultrasound showed small mass at the right testis. Scrotal exploration was carried out and frozen section results were schistosomiasis. He was given medical therapy, and further investigations were normal. A thorough evaluation must be carried out, and testicular schistosomiasis may be considered in patients living in endemic areas. We emphasize the lack of data to reach this diagnosis by radiological imaging.
睾丸血吸虫病极为罕见,仅报告过12例。对于这种酷似恶性肿瘤的病变进行诊断,对放射科医生和泌尿外科医生来说都是极大的难题。我们报告一例来自法国的经保守治疗的睾丸血吸虫病病例。一名31岁的埃及男性因原发性不孕9年就诊于门诊。体格检查显示该男性健康,无任何先天性畸形。血常规和C反应蛋白水平正常。激素检测正常。阴囊超声显示右侧睾丸有小肿块。进行了阴囊探查,冰冻切片结果为血吸虫病。给予了药物治疗,进一步检查均正常。对于生活在流行地区的患者,必须进行全面评估,并考虑睾丸血吸虫病的可能。我们强调目前缺乏通过放射影像学做出该诊断的数据。
