Summary

Ultrasonography (US) is highly sensitive for detecting testicular tumors, though specificity varies. Combining US findings with clinical data aids diagnosis, especially for atypical cases.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Urology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Testicular tumors require accurate diagnostic criteria.
  • Ultrasonography is a primary imaging modality for scrotal pathology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnostic criteria of testicular ultrasonography.
  • To analyze ultrasonographic patterns of testicular tumors and mimics.

Main Methods:

  • Review of institutional experience and literature data.
  • Analysis of ultrasonographic (US) patterns related to testicular tumors.
  • Evaluation of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) utility.

Main Results:

  • US demonstrated 100% sensitivity for testicular tumors.

  • Specificity of US was operator-dependent.
  • Hypoechoic echogenicity was common in testicular tumors, particularly seminomas.

    • Conclusions:

    • Rational use of US patterns with clinical and biological data improves diagnosis.
    • US is crucial for diagnosing atypical testicular tumors and those in specific patient groups.
