J Ultrasound. 2023 Mar;26(1):223-227. doi: 10.1007/s40477-022-00657-4. Epub 2022 Feb 11.

Abstract

Testicular metastasis are rare findings and bilateral metastasis of testes are extremely rare. Here we are describing for the first time a case of bilateral testicular metastasis in a patient with a known ileocecal valve NET using an in-depth ultra-sound studying including microvascular flow imaging (MV-flow), ultra-sound new technique, able to detect small vessel slow-signal.

Keywords: Bilateral testicular metastases; Ileocecal NET; MV-flow imaging; Multiparametric US; Testicular tumor.
