Abstract:
Objective:To explore the sonographic features of primary testicular lymphoma(PLT).
Methods:The sonographic features of 16 PLT patients confirmed by surgery and pathology were retrospectively analyzed.
Results:Sixteen PLT patients were typed into 3 ultrasonic patterns: ①The diffuse homogeneous echo type: 2 cases, the ultrasonic features were homogeneous sieve-like hypoechoic echo, the blood flow signal was rich and radially distributed, with interstisial fibrosis inapparently under-microscope. ②The diffuse uneven homogeneous echo type: 9 cases, the ultrasonic features lobulated or map-like heterogeneous hypoechoic features, the blood flow signal was rich in linear distribution, and interstisial fibrosis proliferated to form fibrous septa under-microscope. ③The focal nodular pattern echo type: 5 cases, the ultrasonic features were homogeneous hypoechoic nodules, the blood flow signal was few, interstisial fibrosis hyperplasia surrounding the tumor under-microscope.
Conclusions:Ultrasonic appearances of primary testicular lymphoma are closely related to its pathologic characteristics, the recognization of their relations contributes to improve the diagnostic value of ultrasound.
