Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a high performance tool for morpho logical assessment and tissue characterization in the presurgical work -up of scrotal tumors. A wait-and-see attitude is now possible for ben ign lesions identified as epidermoid cysts. Pathology examination rema ins more pertinent for an exhaustive assessment of local extension, bu t MRI can provide a convincing, ii not definitive, distinction between seminomatous and non-seminomatous germ cell tumors.
