Ultrasound Appearance of Typical and Atypical Scrotal Abnormalities
Purpose or Case Report: Scrotal ultrasound is commonly performed in a pediatric practice with the nonspecific clinical presentation of pain, palpable abnormality, or enlargement of the scrotum. A wide variety of pathologies including congenital, neoplastic, infectious, and traumatic etiologies can occur within the scrotum due to its complex anatomy. A thorough understanding of the anatomy and spectrum of disease is necessary for diagnosis and potential treatment of these abnormalities. This educational exhibit will illustrate typical and atypical scrotal abnormalities, including testicular torsion, torsion of the testicular and epidydimal appendix, and infectious processes associated with the clinical finding of pain. Additionally, we will provide a collection of testicular and extra-testicular masses, some demonstrating an unusual presentation. Methods & Materials: Results: Conclusions:
