[The contribution of scrotal and abdominal computerized tomography in assessing malignant tumor of the testis]

In the last 10 years, sonography has become an essential examination to establish the diagnosis of urologic diseases. The use of high frequency real-time probes makes the visualization of superficial organs easy. Clinical datas and the informations obtained from 400 testicular and 23 abdominal sonographies performed between july 1981 and december 1986, give us a good idea concerning the use of such examinations in the diagnosis and abdominal staging of testicular cancer.
