Testicular Arteriovenous Malformation : Gray-Scale and Color Doppler Ultrasonography Features

الملخص EN

Intratesticular arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are extremely rare benign incidental lesions of the testis.

Ultrasonography (US) generally reveals a hypoechoic solid mass within the testicular parenchyma.

We describe a patient with intratesticular AVM which was found incidentally during workup for infertility.

The gray-scale and Doppler US appearance of an intratesticular AVM and the differential diagnosis have been presented.

Based on the gray-scale, US appearance differentiation from malignant testicular tumors is difficult.

Doppler US examination aids in the diagnosis by demonstrating the vascular nature of the tumor.
