Case report: A rapidly expanding testicular mass due to a ruptured ovarian follicle.
An ovotestis is the commonest gonad in the small number of patients who are true hermaphrodites. In the majority of ovotestes, testicular and ovarian tissue is arranged end-to-end. There has been only one previous report of the sonographic appearances of an ovotestis. We present the sonographic findings in a patient who developed a rapidly enlarging upper pole testicular mass, which was found on histology to be a ruptured ovarian follicle with spermatogenesis occurring within the adjacent testicular tissue.
