“…Intratesticular lesions of low or absent reflectivity are most commonly tumours, but metastatic lesions and some primary tumours may occasionally present with areas of increased reflectivity due to associated haemorrhage, fibrosis or calcification. According to Blei et al (1983), markedly increased reflectivity is found in inflammatory and vascular lesions of the testis, but not with tumours. Vick, et al (1983) also thought that a scrotal mass of high reflectivity was likely to be benign.…”

The clinical, radiological and ultrasound features of 3 patients presenting with tuberculous epididymo-orchitis are described and the relevant literature reviewed. Scrotal swelling, pain and sinuses are common features at presentation. The presence of a sterile pyuria is a useful sign, but intravenous urography may fail to identify active renal disease. Ultrasound examination revealed testicular involvement in 2 patients. Differentiation from tumour may not be possible, but the presence of epididymal involvement strongly suggests an infective cause. Early surgical biopsy may prove helpful if acid-fast bacilli are not initially identified in early morning urine samples.

Asymptomatic testicular enlargement is common in mentally retarded males. This enlargement includes males with non-specific forms of mental retardation as well as a subgroup of males who have a chromosomally recognizable feature involving the X-chromosome ("fragile X" chromosome). We examined the testes of a group of 25 mentally retarded males with macro-orchidism including both fragile X and non-fragile X patients. Apart from large size, the testes scanned were all normal in appearance. In particular, there was no evidence for neoplasia. There were no distinguishing features between the fragile X and the non-fragile X groups.
