Intratesticular arteriovenous malformation
Updates to Case Attributes
PatientThe patient was assessed for testicular carcinoma markers, which was negative. Semen analysis was within normal limits. In view of sonographic features, the patient was advised for follow-up. PatientThe patient is not willing for any surgical intervention at present. ProvisionalA provisional diagnosis of intratesticular AV malformation was considered, in view of the predominantly vascular intratesticular lesion, with doppler features of AV malformation. While arterial feeders demonstrate low resistance arterial flow, draining channels are compressible, though pure venous waveform could not be appreciated.
EssentialThe essential differential diagnosis to be considered is intratesticular varicocele, which will have a venous waveform.

Updates to Study Attributes
A well defined-defined nodular lesion is seen in the right testestestis, with an eccentric hyperechoic area with multiple tortuous vascular channels within. Predominantly arterial flow is seen in vessels with color-aliasing and spectral broadening. Few vascular channels are compressible.
