Figure 1
Initial sonographic evaluation (November 2017) showed bilateral hypoechoic heterogeneous vascular intratesticular masses (A – right testicle, B – left testicle) with irregular borders extending to the epidydimal heads estimated to occupy approximately 50% of the testicular parenchyma
Figure 2
Figure 2
Doppler interrogation showed extensive vascularity within both masses (A – right testicle, B – left testicle)
Figure 3
Figure 3
Six-month follow-up sonographic evaluation of both masses (April 2018) showed that glucocorticoid up-titration after initial ultrasound revealed that the testicular masses had minimally decreased in size (A – right testicle, B – left testicle)
Figure 4
Figure 4
Internal vascularity of 6-month sonographic evaluation shows decreased vascularity (A – right testicle, B – left testicle)
