Testicular cyst
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
Simple testicular cysts are usually nonpalpable and thus are detected incidentally.
Testicular cysts require no treatment when discovered.
Radiographic features
Ultrasound
- well-marginated
- imperceptible wall
- anechoic with posterior acoustic enhancement
- no flow on colour Doppler
MRI
- follows the signal characteristics of fluid on all pulse sequences
- lack of enhancement on post-contrast sequences
Differential diagnosis
Careful inspection is warranted to differentiate these from cystic testicular neoplasms, such as cystic teratoma.
Treatment and prognosis
Testicular cysts require no treatment when discovered 1,2.
