Differentiation of non-neoplastic and neoplastic scrotal masses by characterization on B-mode scan and colour doppler sonography
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Radiology - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Color Doppler US alone has a limited role in the evaluation of testicular tumours. Gray-scale ultrasonography in combination with color Doppler imaging is a well-accepted technique for assessing scrotal lesions and testicular perfusion. Aim: To differentiate non-neoplastic and neoplastic scrotal masses by characterization on B-mode scan and Colour Doppler ultrasonography. Material and Methods: The present study was carried out in 100 patients with clinically suggestive scrotal lesions.All cases were subjected to real time sonography examination. Main stress was laid to determine of organ of scrotal lesion to evaluate its nature size and echotexture and to see the results on management of serial Ultrasonography. Results: Of 56 cases of non-¬inflammatory scrotal swellings, 5 cases were neoplastic lesions, remaining 51 cases were non-neoplastic swellings. The 5 cases of neoplastic swellings were three cases of testicular neoplasm, two case of spermatic cord neoplasm which was histopathologically confirmed. Conclusion: When color Doppler sonography is supplemented with High frequency gray scale US, the sensitivity of diagnosing acute scrotal pathology will be increased.
