摘要

US features of solid scrotal tumors are often nonspecific, and most of them have no special character to help in the identification of their nature. Ultrasonography, however, identifies lesions in virtually all cases. The use of multiparametric US has improved the capabilities of US modes in lesion characterization, even if important superimposition between malignant lesions and nonmalignant lesions remains. US allows differentiation between intratesticular and extratesticular masses and gives an accurate estimate of their local extent and of their relationship with adjacent tissues.
