“…All cystic or multicystic testicular lesions must be considered, including simple intratesticular cysts, epidermoid cysts, tunica albuginea cysts, testicular teratomas or lymphomas, juvenile granulosa cell tumors, gonadal stromal tumors, and cystic lymphangiomas. Ultrasonography can be used for the initial diagnosis and differentiation of these diseases ( 4 ).…”
