title: [Echographic features of testicular neoplasms. Our experience].
abstract: 14 patients with primitive testicular cancer underwent US and afterwards surgery. A comparison between echo-pattern and hysto-pathology was done with the following results: sharp limits and ipoechoic homogeneous pattern in leydigioma and low-staging seminoma. Presence of anechoic areas and irregular limits: teratoma and embrionary carcinoma with no correlation with the staging. Inclusively no correlation between echo-pattern and staging of neoplasm or presence of neoplastic lymphnodes was observed.
