Multimodal ultrasound diagnosis of epididymo-orchitis with secondary testicular infarction: A case report

Yuexia Liu et al. J Clin Ultrasound. 2024 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

We report a case of a 48-year-old man with testicular infarction caused by epididymo-orchitis (EO). Multimodal ultrasound showed extensive necrosis of the testis, and the patient underwent right orchiectomy. Postoperative pathology confirmed extensive necrosis of the testis. After 3 months of follow-up, the examination of scrotal ultrasound showed that the left testis and epididymis had no obvious abnormality.

Keywords: case report; contrast‐enhanced ultrasound; epididymo‐orchitis; multimodal ultrasound; testicular infarction.
