Testicular lipomatosis

Case contributed by Ibrahim M. Jubarah
Diagnosis probable

Presentation

Left scrotal pain with suspected left-sided varicocele.

Patient Data

Age: 40 years
Gender: Male
ultrasound

Scattered multiple well-defined, non-shadowing, homogeneously hyperechoic (of fat-similar echogenicity) lesions in both testicles, with no detected intra-lesion Doppler color flow.

Otherwise, both testicles show normal size and outline (with no tunica albuginea distortion) and preserve normal Doppler color flow (shown) and pulse wave (not shown).

Case Discussion

The incidental features noted above are likely to represent testicular lipomatosis. Left-sided varicoceles were confirmed sonographically (not shown).

Further management may include searching for or correlating with hamartoma tumor syndromes, especially PTEN gene-associated ones.
