Lymphoma of the testis and epididymis mimics chronic inflammation upon sonography.
We report the sonographic findings in a case of lymphoma, which mimicked chronic inflammation. Scrotal gray-scale sonography revealed an irregularly margined, hypoechoic mass in the right testis and epididymis. Color Doppler sonography showed increased blood flow within the hypoechoic lesions in both testis and epididymis. Pathologic examination revealed a diffuse involvement of the testis and epididymis.
