Retractile testis: an incidental CT finding in trauma patients.
OBJECTIVE
On CT scans obtained for male trauma patients at our institution, we have noted a significant number of cryptorchid testes that have subsequently been shown to be retractile. Our objective was to alert the clinician to this potentially significant finding.


CONCLUSIONS
Cryptorchidism is associated with significant risks and, when found incidentally, needs to be differentiated from retractile tests and confirmed clinically.
