Abstract
This study reviews our experience with the presentation of occult echo -poor lesions of the testis in patients who were seen with problems su ch as infertility, prostatitis or orchialgia. A range of pathologic pr oblems revealed by scrotal ultrasonography in these patients is presen ted, and we compared surgical and pathological findings to those of pr eoperative scrotal ultrasonography. Scrotal ultrasound appears to be a highly sensitive but nonspecific diagnostic technique.
