Localized testicular infarction masquerading as a testicular neoplasm

Radiologic Findings of Segmental Testicular Infarction

“…However, in some cases, differentiation of segmental testicular infarction from a small intratesticular tumor, which may have a low flow, is difficult [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. However, in some cases, differentiation of segmental testicular infarction from a small intratesticular tumor, which may have a low flow, is difficult [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

“…The imaging method of choice for diagnosis is color Doppler sonography, which shows a flowless area and normal remaining testicular parenchyma [7][8][9]. However, on many occasions, segmental testicular infarction cannot be distinguished from a tumor with low flow, especially if the tumor is small [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Recently, some authors have proposed a role for MRI in the diagnosis of segmental testicular infarction using contrast sequences [17].…”

Segmental testicular infarction due to cholesterol embolism: Not the first case, but the first report

“…The cases lacking known cause have been reported as idiopathic segmental testicular infarction. Unfortunately, most of such cases have been reported in urological or radiological journals, and detailed histopathology was not given 8,12–20 . The current study presents the first case report of cholesterol embolism‐associated segmental infarction of the testis, although this cannot be the first case.…”

Tiny nodule in the testicle: Case report of a sertoli cell tumor

“…In addition, paratesticular tumors, which are intrascrotal masses originating in strictures that contain connective tissue around the testis, epididymis and spermatic cord, are rare but a few cases have been reported 6 . Localized testicular infarction appears to represent a relatively uncommon phenomenon and presents with a testicular mass simulating a neoplasm 7 …”
