Abstract

We present a case of viral-associated orchitis with bilateral testicular masses initially concerning for malignancy on scrotal ultrasound. In this case, patient underwent observation after discussing management options. Literature search revealed two cases of benign testicular mass after viral infection that was managed with radical orchiectomy. The previously documented case allowed for appropriate counseling to delay surgical intervention and allow for spontaneous resolution of the viral-induced testicular masses.

Keywords: Benign testicular neoplasm; Orchiectomy; Viral orchitis.
