Testicular ultrasound (US) studies are nowadays widely performed as being readily available, cost effective with no side effects. Testicular ultrasounds are ordered to help in the diagnosis of various conditions, but more specifically, in cryptorchidism. Other reasons for conducting testicular ultrasonography include testicular pain to confirm presence of epididymitis or orchitis. Consequently, the increase in these studies has raised the rate of finding incidental testicular and extra-testicular lesions. Consequently, knowing the variable imaging features of rare testicular and extra testicular lesions which are crucial, orchiectomy can be avoided. In this article, we present variety of unusual intra-testicular and extra-testicular masses and mass-like lesions with emphasis on key imaging features, main differential diagnosis and recommendation.
睾丸超声（US）检查现今广泛应用，因其具有广泛可用性、成本效益和无副作用的特点。睾丸超声检查被用于协助诊断各种疾病，但更具体地说，是用于隐睾症的诊断。进行睾丸超声检查的其他原因包括睾丸疼痛，以确认是否存在附睾炎或睾丸炎。因此，这些检查的增加提高了偶然发现睾丸和睾丸外病变的比率。因此，了解罕见的睾丸和睾丸外病变的各种不同的影像学特征至关重要，可以避免进行睾丸切除术。在本文中，我们介绍了多种不同的睾丸内和睾丸外肿块和类肿块病变，重点介绍了关键的影像学特征、主要鉴别诊断和建议。
