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.

Spermatic cord sarcomas (SCS) are a group of mesenchymal tumors whose rarity and anatomical location often lead to clinical misdiagnosis such as inguinal hernia, testicular tumor, or other conditions. Any inguinoscrotal mass with suspicious characteristics should prompt clinicians to perform imaging assessments (such as ultrasound or, in uncertain cases, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)) and refer the patient promptly to a specialized center. Histological characterization of all suspicious masses via percutaneous biopsy is recommended, with staging completed through computed tomography (CT) scan for confirmed cases.

Mammary-type myofibroblastomas (MFBs) are benign spindle cell tumors, typically presenting in common locations such as the breast, abdomen, and inguinal region. We present a case of a 66-year-old male with a four-year history of painless scrotal swelling. The preoperative diagnosis was challenging, with an initial suspicion of soft tissue sarcoma.

Fibrous pseudotumors are a rare type of benign paratesticular mass that normally present to patients in their 30s secondary to local trauma. Here, we describe an 8-year-old male patient that presented with several right testicular masses following an injury 2 years prior. The masses were successfully resected in a testicle-sparing operation.

Background: Extravaginal testicular torsion has profound clinical implications in neonates, but its ultrasound characteristics may vary at different disease stages. The purpose of this study was to identify the ultrasound characteristics of neonatal extravaginal testicular torsion and their diagnostic value at different disease stages.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of the clinical and ultrasound examination data of 20 infants aged 1-75 days with surgically and pathologically confirmed unilateral extravaginal testicular torsion (10 right, 10 left) was conducted.
