[Sonographic examination in diseases of the scrotal area (author's transl)]

Abstract:
Sixty-two patients with diseases of the scrotal area were examined sonographically. In 11 out of 12 testicular tumors, a preoperative diagnosis could be confirmed by examination with ultrasonication, including one case with large accompanying hydrocele, which made an exact palpation of the testicles impossible. Despite the still small number of cases, we feel that ultrasonic examination of the testicles makes it possible to speed up the diagnosis of testicular tumors, which is often drawn out over weeks or months, and to provide the patients with early operative therapy.
