A

epididymitis and epididymo-orchitis

31
Q

between what ages is testicular torsion most common

32
Q

In young men, what is the most common cause of epididymitis

A

sexually transmitted disease

33
Q

What is a collection of serous fluid located between the layers of the tunica vaginalis called?

34
Q

A patient presents for a scrotal sonogram with a history of vasectomy and scrotal discomfort. Multiple cystic structures are seen in both testes along the mediastinum testis. Color Doppler does not demonstrate any flow in these cystic structures. What is the likely diagnosis?

A

tubular ectasia of the rete testis

35
Q

A 26-year-old man presents with fever, scrotal pain, and swelling. The sonogram shows an enlarged hypoechoic epididymis with hyperemia. A small hydrocele is noted. The testis appear normal. What is the likely diagnosis?

A

epididymitis

36
Q

What is the most common correctable cause of male infertility?

A

varicocele

37
Q

A 42 year old patient presents with a painless right scrotal mass. Sonographically, a 2.5 cm, irregular, hypoechoic mass is seen in the mid-right testis. Color Doppler demonstrates hyperemia. The remainder of the scrotum, including the scrotal wall, appears normal. What is the most likely diagnosis?

38
Q

A patient presents for a scrotal sonogram with a history of infertility. The testes appear normal bilaterally. Superior to the testes, multiple cystic structures are seen. The largest of these structures measure 4 mm. Color Doppler demonstrates flow within these structures and increased flow is seen when the patient is asked to perform the Valsalva maneuver. What is the likely diagnosis?

A

varicocele

39
Q

What is the most common sonographic appearance of a malignant testicular mass?

A

cystic mass with ring calcifications
