title: [Occult and clinically suspected testicular tumor. Assessment using real-time sonography].
abstract: The diagnostic value of real-time-sonography was evaluated in 62 patients with suspected and occult testicular tumors. In 28 patients intratesticular tumors were identified on real-time-sonograms. In addition 7 clinically occult tumors were diagnosed by real-time-sonography. It was not possible to differentiate between orchitis and tumors on sonograms (3 cases). There was correlation only between the morphologic appearance of tumors on sonograms and the corresponding histology. Using high frequency transducers sonography proved to be an useful diagnostic modality to identify or to rule out occult intratesticular tumors.
