ED Ultrasound:
Images show:
- Enlarged, very heterogenous R testicle with increased vascularity. Small hydrocoele.
- Very suspicious for malignancy. DDx severe orchitis/ TB
Admitted urology.
Consideration for orchidectomy.
CRP<2 WCC normal. But tumour markers also normal.
Urology discussing orchidectomy vs IVAB and rescan.
Formal Ultrasound:
Orchitis causes an enlarged hypoechoic testicle which is hyper vascular. Discrete masses or a very heterogenous echo texture should print Ix for malignancy/TB/trauma
