Abstract:
:Scrotal ultrasound is now the first and only imaging examination necessary to evaluate the scrotal contents. This article first discusses normal scrotal anatomy, and then examines the imaging findings of various malignant and benign scrotal masses. Other topics include cryptorchidism, extratesticular abnormalities, and acute scrotum.
