title: Impalpable testicular tumors diagnosed by scrotal ultrasonography.
abstract: Intrascrotal masses can be identified with a high degree of accuracy using scrotal ultrasonography. Ultrasound, however, is useful to identify occult and incidental testicular neoplasms, too. We report 2 cases of impalpable incidental testis germ cell tumors diagnosed by routine scrotal ultrasonography. One of the 2 patients had an incidental sequential second primary testicular germ cell tumor in the palpably normal testis, identified by routine follow-up ultrasound three months after contralateral radical orchiectomy.
