title: [Diagnostic value of MRI in testicular tumor].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the MRI manifestation of testicular tumor and the value of MRI in the diagnosis of the disease.
  
  
  METHODS
  We retrospectively analyzed 23 cases of pathologically confirmed testicular tumor, and observed the morphological characteristics, signals and surrounding conditions of the tumor using plain and enhanced MRI scanning.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Of the 23 cases, seminoma was identified in 7, mixed germinoma in 3, teratoma in 3, endodermal sinus tumor in 2, epidermoid in 1, Leydig cell tumor in 1, leucoma in 1, nonspecific inflammatory mass in 3, and tuberculosis in 2. MRI revealed the precise locations and specific characteristics of
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Based on MRI findings and clinical manifestation, most testicular tumors can be diagnosed correctly.
