[Painful scrotum].
Painful scrotum is a frequent symptom. Clinical examination is essential and provides a diagnosis in 85% of cases. In the case of a doubtful diagnosis, ultrasonography is the best complementary investigation. The physician must continually keep two diseases in mind: torsion of the testis and testicular tumour.
