Abstract
Malignant testicular tumors are an important clinical problem, and ult rasound is the most frequently ordered imaging modality once a palpabl e scrotal mass is discovered. Numerous articles discussing the role of ultrasound in the evaluation of testicular pathology have confirmed t he value of preoperative imaging. This article presents a review of im aging literature regarding testicular neoplasms, with an emphasis on c orrelation of gross and microscopic tumor pathology and imaging findin gs. Also included are sections on anatomy, epidemiology, histogenesis, and tumor markers.
