“…Cysts of the testis are most often single and rarely multiple; they have anechoic appearance, clear margins and posterior wall thickening; if containing fixed echoic material, differential diagnosis should include cystic neoplasms such as cystic teratoma [11,12]. In effect, teratomas can present as solid, cystic, or mixed solid and cystic lesions [13]. Simple cysts developing in the virtual space of the vaginal cavity are mostly albuginea cysts; they rarely present a complex internal structure [11].…”

“…In case of juvenile granulosa cell tumor, US examination shows a multiseptated hypoechoic cystic lesion within the parenchyma of the testis, with a "Swiss cheese" appearance. The lack of calcifications favors a juvenile granulosa cell tumor over a teratoma [13]. A Leydig cell tumor is a small, hypoechoic, round intratesticular mass, which may demonstrate cystic areas and shows a prevalent peripheral vascularization; it is typical of older children and often presents with precocious puberty [15].…”

“…US is unable to reliably distinguish between benign and malignant tumors, however certain features may be predictive of histology (6,21). Most cystic lesions in children are benign (22). Well-circumscribed lesions containing hypoechoic or anechoic cystic areas with adjacent hyperechogenic and solid areas surrounded by normal testicular tissue are characteristic of teratoma (10,23).…”
