Abstract

Testicular tumors are uncommon, accounting for only 5% of tumors involving men. Among these, teratocarcimonas, testicular germ cell tumors, non-seminomas, are corresponding to 15%. We report the sonographic features of a case of testicular teratocarcinoma, emphasizing the importance of this diagnostic imaging method.
