- Abstract
Multiparametric testicular ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings were analyzed in a series of 10 infertile asymptomatic men presenting with pathologically confirmed burned ‐ out testicular tumors. Color/power Doppler ultrasound (CDUS), shear wave elastography (SWE), contrast ‐ enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS), and MRI were performed on 10, 5, 6, and 7 patients, respectively. All lesions appeared as a hypoechoic and hypovascular nodular area at CDUS, SWE, CEUS CDUS, and CEUS (if performed). Shear wave elastography showed a stiffer nodular area compared with the surrounding/contralateral tissues (13 versus 2 kPa); MRI revealed a well ‐ delineated nodular area in hypointense signal on T2, a high apparent diffusion coefficient value, and a lack of enhancement.
