ABSTRACT = {Ultrasound is recognized as a valuable method of detecting
testicular masses. Rarely, ultrasound will detect a testicular
mass that was not clinically suspected. We present the case
of a 43-year old man who presented with an unsuspected
testicular mass detected by ultrasound. He underwent
inguinal orchiectomy. The pathology showed a Leydig Cell
tumor with cytological atypia. A review of the literature
suggests that most incidentally discovered testicular masses
are tumors, but there is disagreement as to whether they are
usually benign or malignant. In view of the fact that many
of these lesions are benign, if tumor markers are not elevated,
inguinal exploration and excision of the lesion with frozen
section examination is an acceptable management approach.},
