“…Simple cysts of the tunica albuginea may be followed conservatively, but complex cysts sonographically are highly suggestive of malignancy. 8 The epidermoid cyst is an uncommon lesion composed histologically of a fibrous cyst wall with squamous epithelium surrounding a cavity containing keratinized debris. This may ap~ear sonographically as either a solid echogenic mass or a predominantly cystic lesion with few internal echoes.1° The adenomatoid tumor is the most common paratesticular tumor, usually appearing as a solid echogenic epididymal mass, but rarely it may arise in the tunica albuginea as well, mimicking testicular carcinoma.…”

“…They develop in the tunica albuginea and may be single or multiple; they are believed to arise from the mesothelial cells of the tunica itself [9]. At US examination albuginea cysts appear well-defined [10]; they develop in the virtual space of the vaginal cavity and cause signs of compression of the adjacent testicular parenchyma (Fig.…”

The widespread use of scrotal ultrasonography (US) has led to increased detection of testicular and extratesticular pathologies. Cystic or encapsulated fluid collections are relatively common benign lesions that usually present as palpable testicular lumps. Most cysts arise in the epidydimis, but all anatomical structures of the scrotum can be the site of their origin. US may suggest a specific diagnosis for a wide variety of intrascrotal cystic and fluid lesions and appropriately guide therapeutic options. US should be used as an adjunctive diagnostic modality after clinical evaluation of a scrotal lesion associated or not with the presence of a lump.Sommario La diffusione nella pratica clinica dell'ecografia ha determinato il riscontro sempre più frequente di lesioni delle struttura testicolari ed extratesticolari. Le cisti e le raccolte fluide incapsulate sono lesioni benigne di frequente osservazione e si manifestano come tumefazioni in genere non dolenti. La maggioranza delle cisti si localizza a livello dell'epididimo, ma tutte le strutture anatomiche dello scroto possono essere sede della loro origine. Gli ultrasuoni consentono in molti casi una diagnosi precisa e specifica, che non richiede ulteriori accertamenti diagnostici, ma solo una adeguata scelta terapeutica. L'ecografia deve essere impiegata come mezzo diagnostico che si aggiunge all'esplorazione clinica in tutti i casi in cui un processo espansivo viene palpato o meno. ª
