title: Imaging Features of Paratesticular Masses.
abstract: In this pictorial essay, we review the sonographic and other imaging findings of paratesticular masses in correlation with the pathologic findings. The examples include benign and malignant tumors and also non-neoplastic mass lesions of the paratesticular structures. Diagnostic sonographic findings of these mass lesions as well as correlative findings of other imaging methods are presented.
