Background
Scrotal lumps are a common complaint amongst the adult male population.
The first step in the assessment is determining whether a lesion is intra or paratesticular.
In this poster,
we provide a series of multimodality illustrations of the relevant anatomy to help with this first step.
A large proportion of the scrotal lumps are paratesticular in nature.
The commonest lesions,
such as simple cysts and varicocoeles are easily identified,
but lesions such as adenomatoid tumours,
leiomyosarcomas and scrotal lipomas can be harder to characterise.
We review the cases of these more unusual pathologies that underwent various forms of cross-sectional imaging at our institution,
and discuss their clinical manifestations and imaging findings.
