[Thermography in inflammatory and neoplastic diseases of the testis].
Thermographic examination of the scrotum was performed in 55 healthy males, 64 patients with nonspecific inflammatory lesions of the testicles and 44 cases of testicular tumor. In thermograms of the normal scrotum, cold zones provided the background for homogeneous isothermic images corresponding to the testicles. Inflammatory lesions showed atypical diffuse zones of increased thermogenic activity which were in some cases associated with hyperthermic stem foci in the inguinal-scrotal area. Tumors presented with atypical well-defined hot or cold zones. Values of temperature indexes for normal testicles, inflammatory and tumor lesions of the organ are given.
