Treatment for a testicular tumor is commonly a radical orchiectomy. In men with only one functioning testis, this results in loss of fertility. This can be disheartening to the patient and surgeon when the tumor turns out to be benign. We present a case where intraoperative ultrasound was used to localize a benign intratesticular tumor, allowing for the remaining testicular tissue to be preserved.

Key Words: testicular ultrasound • intratesticular tumor • Leydig cell tumor
