Intratesticular arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are extremely rare benign incidental lesions of the testis. Ultrasonography (US) generally reveals a hypoechoic solid mass within the testicular parenchyma. We describe a patient with intratesticular AVM which was found incidentally during workup for infertility. The gray-scale and Doppler US appearance of an intratesticular AVM and the differential diagnosis have been presented. Based on the gray-scale, US appearance differentiation from malignant testicular tumors is difficult. Doppler US examination aids in the diagnosis by demonstrating the vascular nature of the tumor.
睾丸内动静脉畸形（AVM）是睾丸极为罕见的良性偶发病变。超声检查（US）通常显示睾丸实质内有低回声实性肿块。我们描述了一名在不育症检查过程中偶然发现睾丸内AVM的患者。本文呈现了睾丸内AVM的灰阶和多普勒超声表现以及鉴别诊断。基于灰阶，超声很难将其与睾丸恶性肿瘤区分开来。多普勒超声检查通过显示肿瘤的血管性质辅助诊断。
