[Echographic diagnosis of Peyronie's disease].
Thirty-six patients with Peyronie's disease were evaluated with diagnostic sonography. Radiographic and/or xeroradiographic examinations were also performed on 23 patients. Sonography could demonstrate the presence of the plaques characteristic of the disease in the majority of cases (94.5%), whereas only calcified lesions were depicted by conventional X-rays. Sonography is therefore recommended for its well-known advantages over other techniques, not only as the diagnostic methodology of choice, but also in the follow-up of the disease.
