[Color Doppler in differential diagnosis of scrotal mass].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the differential diagnosis of scrotal mass with color Doppler ultrasound.


METHODS
Retrospective analysis was made of 21 cases of scrotal mass confirmed both surgically and pathologically in our hospital.


RESULTS
Eight of the total number were malignancy of the testis origin, accounting for 38.1% of whole study group and 13 were benign, accounting for 61.9%. Of the 13 benign cases, only 2 were of the testis origin (15.4%) while the other 11 (84.6%) were not.
