Overview
Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of testicular cancer. Findings on ultrasound suggestive of testicular cancer mass include well defined hypoechoic lesion for seminomas; calcification, cystic areas, and heterogeneous for non seminomas germ cell tumors.
Ultrasound
- Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of testicular cancer. Findings on ultrasound suggestive of testicular cancer mass include:[1][2][3]
For seminomas germ cell tumors
- Well defined hypoechoic lesion
- Homogeneous
- Lack of cystic lesion
For Non-seminomas germ cell tumors
- Calcification
- Cystic areas
- Heterogeneous
- It is used to confirm that there is a tumor in the testicle and check its size, shape, location and density.
- Ultrasound can help to distinguish benign tumors from malignant ones.
