“…Retrograde infection through the ductus deferens from urinary bladder, prostate, or urethral infections is the most common route, although penetrating wounds can occur. 73 Epididymitis can occur without testicular disease and vice versa (Figure 17-40). 34 The ultrasonographic appearance of acute infectious testicular disease has been described as a diffuse, patchy, hypoechoic parenchymal pattern, usually with testicular and epididymal enlargement.…”

“…There have been useful B‐mode descriptions of testicular tumours and other scrotal abnormalities including hydrocele, testicular atrophy, inguinal hernia and infectious orchitis (Pugh and Konde ; England ; Ober et al. ). Testicular neoplasms are described as lesions with different echogenicity, without a single characteristic ultrasonographic appearance (Johnston et al.…”

Contents Contrast‐enhanced ultrasound with sulphur hexafluoride microbubbles was performed in seven healthy dogs without a history of reproductive pathology and with histologically confirmed normal testes and in 42 dogs with chronic scrotal anomalies. All dogs underwent orchiectomy and histological examination. Enhancement patterns and perfusion parameters (peak intensity and regional blood flow) of testes of healthy dogs and testes with chronic lesions were compared. Fourteen non‐pathologic and 60 pathologic testes were considered. Forty testes were neoplastic (24 interstitial cell tumours, 9 seminomas, 7 Sertoli cell tumours), 20 were non‐neoplastic (16 testicular degenerations, 2 chronic orchitis, 1 testicular atrophy, 1 interstitial cell hyperplasia). In healthy dogs, the contrast medium flow had a rapid homogeneous wash‐in and wash‐out, with a short peak phase. With contrast ultrasound, testes that were inhomogeneous with a hyperenhancing pattern were associated with neoplasia (sensitivity: 87.5%, specificity: 100%). Lesions with persistent inner vessels and a hypo‐to‐isoechoic background were significantly associated with seminomas (sensitivity: 77.8%, specificity: 100%). Testes with non‐neoplastic lesions were characterized by a scant/moderate homogeneous enhancement. Perfusion parameters were higher in neoplastic lesions. Contrast ultrasound was a feasible diagnostic tool in the assessment of testicular lesions, with hyperenhancement being an important feature in the diagnosis of malignancy.

Human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA), caused by Anaplasma phagocytophilum, is an emerging tick-borne disease. It is spread by the black-legged deer tick Ixodes scapularis that serves as the vector for six human pathogens. HGA is still rarely reported in solid organ transplant recipients. In solid organ transplant recipients, or-How to cite this article: Khatri A, Lloji A, Doobay R, et al. Anaplasma phagocytophilum presenting with orchitis in a renal transplant recipient.
