The parenchyma is the bulk of an organ, so the parenchymal tissues of the testes is the bulk of the testicle, not the related or nearby blood, nervous, muscular, or skin tissue.

cysts of tissue
Bilateral means on both sides, pulmonary means related to the lungs, and parenchymal means in the main tissue of the organ. Bilateral pulmonary parenchymal is a partial phrase meaning that whatever finding there was on the image was seen in the main part of the lung tissue on both the right and left.
In the reproductive system, a combination of stromal and parenchymal tissue refers to the supportive and functional components of reproductive organs. Stromal tissue consists of connective tissue that provides structural support, while parenchymal tissue is made up of the functional cells responsible for the organ's specific activities, such as hormone production or gamete formation. For example, in the ovaries, the stroma supports the follicles (parenchyma) where oocyte development occurs. Together, these tissues work in concert to facilitate reproductive processes.

Parenchyma is the functional part of an organ (while stroma is the supporting tissue). Echogenicity means ability to produce an echo. So parenchymal echogenicity means the ability of the functional part of an organ to produce an echo (for ultrasound examination for example).
tissue typing
Homogeneous parenchymal echotexture refers to an ultrasound finding where the tissue being examined (such as the liver or kidney) appears uniform in texture throughout, without any areas of abnormality or variation in echogenicity. This can suggest normal tissue architecture and lack of pathology in the organ.
Parenchymal thickness refers to the measurement of the functional tissue within an organ, typically used in the context of organs like the lungs, kidneys, or liver. It indicates the density and health of the organ's functional tissue, which can be assessed via imaging techniques such as ultrasound or CT scans. Abnormalities in parenchymal thickness may suggest disease or dysfunction, making it an important parameter in medical evaluations.

A parenchymal cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops in the parenchyma, which is the functional tissue of an organ. These cysts can occur in various organs throughout the body and are typically benign unless they cause symptoms or complications. Treatment may be necessary if the cyst grows in size or causes issues.
