title: Sonography of testicular tumors and tumor-like conditions: a radiologic-pathologic correlation.
abstract: Malignant testicular tumors are an important clinical problem, and ultrasound is the most frequently ordered imaging modality once a palpable scrotal mass is discovered. Numerous articles discussing the role of ultrasound in the evaluation of testicular pathology have confirmed the value of preoperative imaging. This article presents a review of imaging literature regarding testicular neoplasms, with an emphasis on correlation of gross and microscopic tumor pathology and imaging findings. Also included are sections on anatomy, epidemiology, histogenesis, and tumor markers.
