Comparative study of pediatric non-neoplastic scrotal masses using high resolution sonography and colour doppler with histopathological correlation

Abstract

Aim: To compare non-neoplastic and neoplastic scrotal masses by characterization on B-mode scan and Colour Doppler 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.
