In the article titled "Sonography of the Scrotum: Case-Based
Review" in the June 2008 issue of the AJR Integrative Imaging
(AJR 2008;
190[suppl]:S35–S41), the following corrections should be
made:
In Solution to Practice Question 6, the last sentence should read
"Option E is the best response."
The text under Solution to Practice Question 8 should read:
Seminoma is the most common type of testicular tumor. They are usually
well-circumscribed, hypoechoic lesions containing low-level echoes, but not
calcifications. Option A is not the best response. Lymphoma typically presents
as either focal or more diffuse hypoechoic regions with increased Doppler flow
and occasional involvement of the adjacent epididymis. Option B is not the
best response. Alternating bands of increased and decreased echogenicity, the
so-called onion-ring appearance, is characteristic of an epidermoid cyst;
however, the sonographic appearance is variable [12]. Epidermoid cysts with a
target appearance, a sharply defined mass with a rim of calcium, and a solid
mass with an echogenic rim, as in this patient, have been described [13].
Option C is the best response. Adenomatoid tumors are
mixed-echogenicity tumors of the epididymis. Option D is not the best
response. Lipomas typically arise in the spermatic cord. Option E is not the
best response.
In Solution to Practice Question 9, the text beginning with
"Supernumerary testes..." should read "Supernumerary testes
are rare, usually presenting as a painless scrotal mass. Twenty percent of
supernumerary testes are inguinal. Option C is not the best
response."
We regret these errors.
