Striated pattern on scrotal ultrasonography: A marker for Non-hodgkins lymphoma of testis

Suresh Bhat et al. Indian J Urol. 2014 Jan.

Abstract

We present a case of 52 year old man who presented with bilateral painless testicular swelling. On evaluation with high resolution ultrasonography of the scrotum, typical "striated pattern" which is highly suggestive of Non Hodgkins lymphoma of the testis was seen. The patient underwent bilateral inguinal orchidectomy and the histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of Non Hodgkins lymphoma.

Keywords: Non-hodgkins lymphoma; sonography; striated pattern.
