Orchitis and epididymitis are increasingly common lesions encountered in general practice. The clinical diagnosis of inflammation of the testis can be difficult as 10% of neoplasms present acutely with features of inflammation or torsion. The radiological diagnosis is also difficult as the changes seen on ultrasound, whether diffuse or focal, acute or chronic, have to be differentiated from the changes seen with tumours of the testis. The purpose of this review is to describe and illustrate the evolving changes seen in orchitis with reference to the anatomy and pathophysiology of testicular inflammation. We hope that recognition of this pattern may lead to a more confident diagnosis and appropriate management decisions.
