OBJECTIVE. We describe the sonographic features of focal intratesticular lesions seen in men who underwent sperm retrieval procedures.

CONCLUSION. Although many urologists believe that solid intratesticular masses are malignant until proven otherwise, a growing number of benign focal testicular lesions have been described. Awareness of the cause and sonographic appearance of focal abnormalities in men who have undergone testicular aspiration or extraction should help radiologists suggest the correct diagnosis and advise a conservative approach on the basis of close surveillance by serial physical, laboratory, and imaging studies.
