- Hydrocele: Simple fluid between layers of tunica vaginalis
- Hematocele: Blood products between layers of tunica vaginalis
- Hematoma: Contained collection of blood products within testis, epididymis, or scrotal wall; can be multifocal
- Testicular fracture: Disruption of testicular parenchyma
- Testicular rupture: Disruption of tunica albuginea, often with extrusion of testicular parenchyma
- Devascularization: Vascular pedicle injury causing absent or diminished blood flow without true torsion (twisting)
- Traumatic epididymitis: Epididymal contusion causing inflammation, enlargement, & hypervascularity
- Traumatic testicular ectopia: Traumatic dislocation of testis into inguinal canal, abdominal cavity, or perineum
