Abstract
Most testicular masses are germ cell malignancies and require radical orchiectomy. There are other causes of testicular masses, however, som e of which have characteristic imaging and clinical features. A presum ptive diagnosis may be possible for some of these atypical testicular masses. This may result in testis-preserving surgery or nonoperative m anagement.
