Painless solid testicular masses on ultrasonography are commonly malignant. However, if the lesion is well demarcated, rounded, and hypoechoic with alternating hyperechoic and hypoechoic layers, and no internal vascular flow, the possibility of an epidermoid cyst should be considered. Epidermoid cysts are uncommon benign testicular lesions and are extremely rare in the intrascrotal extratesticular region. Including these cysts in the differential diagnosis may allow the urologist to perform testis-sparing surgery. The possibility of an epidermoid cyst should be considered when a scrotal mass shows an 'onion ring' appearance on sonography and no vascularity on Doppler.
超声检查发现的无痛性睾丸实性肿块通常为恶性。然而,如果病变边界清晰、呈圆形、低回声且有高回声和低回声交替层,且无内部血流信号,则应考虑表皮样囊肿的可能性。表皮样囊肿是罕见的良性睾丸病变,在阴囊内睾丸外区域极为罕见。将这些囊肿纳入鉴别诊断有助于泌尿外科医生进行保留睾丸的手术。当阴囊肿块在超声检查中显示出“洋葱环”外观且多普勒检查无血管信号时,应考虑表皮样囊肿的可能性。
