Sonographic Appearance of Testicular Hemangioma: A Case Report

Tumors of the testes are the most common solid organ malignancy in young men. The first modality of choice for intratesticular masses is high-resolution sonography. The majority of intratesticular masses are malignant and ultrasound (US) remains the first-line modality for evaluation of these masses. While rare, benign testicular masses are important to recognize to avoid unnecessary workup and surgery. We present the case of a 38-year-old male with a testicular hemangioma, a rare benign testicular tumor. US and pathologic findings of this tumor are discussed.
