Abstract:
Sonography is the preferred imaging method for the evaluation of pediatric scrotal swelling. By identifying the site of origin and whether a mass is solid or cystic, the diagnosis is usually readily made, making ultrasound especially valuable in patient management. Scrotal pathology differs in pediatric patients, especially prior to puberty, making understanding of pediatric conditions essential. This article reviews the common intra- and extratesticular causes of pediatric scrotal swelling and their sonographic appearances.
