[Color Doppler in differential diagnosis of scrotal mass].

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the differential diagnosis of scrotal mass with color Doppler ultrasound. METHODS: Retrospective analysis was made of 21 cases of scrotal mass confirmed both surgically and pathologically in our hospital. RESULTS: Eight of the total number were malignancy of the testis origin, accounting for 38.1% of whole study group and 13 were benign, accounting for 61.9%. Of the 13 benign cases, only 2 were of the testis origin (15.4%) while the other 11 (84.6%) were not. CONCLUSION: Color Doppler ultrasound plays an increasingly important role in the differential diagnosis of scrotal mass.
