Colour Doppler and ultrasound characteristics of testicular Leydig cell tumours

Abstract

By undertaking the largest imaging series of LCT to date (to our knowledge), we reassessed the typical sonographical aspects of LCTs, so as to provide guidance in regard to opting for testis-sparing surgery and for follow-up. LCTs present both intrinsic and rim vascularization detectable by colour Doppler ultrasound. Intrinsic vascularization and lobulated margins are common findings in testicular LCTs.
