Abstract. Tubular ectasia of the rete testis (TERT) is a benign entity due to dilation of the tubules of the rete testis. Most of the time it is discovered incidentally on scrotal sonograms and may be misinterpreted as malignant. This article outlines the diagnostic criteria of TERT, its possible causes, its incidence and its potential evolution. Recognizing this entity owing to its characteristic clinical, sonographic and, if necessary, MRI features is important to avoid unnecessary surgery or biopsies.
