Measurement data were expressed as mean \u00b1 SD.

Seven cases showed testicular torsion; 3 cases showed testicular space\u2010occupying lesions (1 case each of a testicular teratoma, testicular seminoma, and testicular endodermal sinus tumor); 176 cases showed epididymal lesions (138 cases of caudal epididymal inflammatory masses, 37 cases of caput epididymal cysts, and 1 case of an epididymal lymphangioma); and 262 cases showed varicocele. The normal testicular elastographic appearance showed a 3\u2010ring structure: red surrounding bands with a blue edge region and a green central area. The stiffness in cases of testicular torsion, testicular space\u2010occupying lesions, and epididymal lesions was increased, whereas caput epididymal cysts of different diameters appeared either as green, blue\u2010green\u2010red, or \u201cscooped out.\u201d Elastographic results for patients with varicocele were not different from those for normal testes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Quasistatic elastography can reflect the relative stiffness of the testis and its surrounding tissues, thus
