Abstract:
Ultrasound examination is the primary imaging investigation used in initial evaluation of the symptomatic testis. In this review the ultrasound appearances of a range of testicular lesions are demonstrated. Particular attention is given to the subject of testicular microlithiasis and its link with germ-cell neoplasia, and also to the sonographic features of epidermoid cysts that may allow testis-sparing surgery.
