[Echography, a diagnostic method in testicular abscess].
We report on 10 patients who presented with a scrotal mass. The diagnosis of testicular abscess was made on ultrasonographic examination of the scrotal mass. The sensitivity and specificity rates of the foregoing imaging technique were 100%. Furthermore, it permitted determining with precision the extent and degree of involvement of the following structures: testes, epididymis, spermatic cord and scrotal layers.
