Abstract

The commonest solid tumour in men between the ages of 15 and 44 is testicular cancer. Germ cell tumours, which are then subdivided into seminomatous and non-seminomatous tumours, are its primary histological kind. In the fourth decade of a man's life, seminoma accounts for 55% of testicular cancer. Anaplastic seminoma, which accounts for 5% to 15% of testicular seminoma, is an uncommon kind of seminoma. The anaplastic variant of classical seminoma is an uncommon type of seminoma. In order to increase confidence in diagnosing and differentiating benign from malignant lesions and localising lesions in the testis, tissue elastography has arisen as a definite, important supplementary method. We present a case report of anaplastic seminoma with its classical imaging findings on strain elastography and its correlation with ultrasound and doppler.

Keywords: anaplastic seminoma; colour doppler; elastography; testicular tumour; ultrasonography.
