Abstract:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a high performance tool for morphological assessment and tissue characterization in the presurgical work-up of scrotal tumors. A wait-and-see attitude is now possible for benign lesions identified as epidermoid cysts. Pathology examination remains more pertinent for an exhaustive assessment of local extension, but MRI can provide a convincing, if not definitive, distinction between seminomatous and non-seminomatous germ cell tumors.
