The majority of solid testicular tumors are treated with orchiectomy given the high risk of malignancy. We present a case of a testicular mass in an adult patient in the setting of recent hand, foot, and mouth disease that was managed conservatively with serial ultrasounds. Even though cases of viral-associated testicular masses are rare, this differential diagnosis should be considered in patients with a new testicular mass in the setting of recent viral infection and negative tumor markers. For these patients, observation may be an option instead of immediate orchiectomy.
大多数实体性睾丸肿瘤由于恶性风险高,采用睾丸切除术进行治疗。我们报告了 1 例手足口病近期发病的成年患者的睾丸肿块病例,采用连续超声检查进行保守治疗。尽管与病毒相关的睾丸肿块病例较为罕见,但对于近期病毒感染且肿瘤标志物阴性的新出现睾丸肿块患者,应考虑这种鉴别诊断。对于这些患者,观察可能是一种选择,而不是立即进行睾丸切除术。
