Definitions
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
