abstract: Inspection, palpation, transillumination and anamnesis together with laboratory findings very often do not allow differential diagnosis of scrotal swellings. Ultrasound can differentiate between extra- or intratesticular processes and are of great help in deciding for conservative oder surgical interventions. Routine application should be recommended.
