Abstract
Our brief experience of the use of ultrasonography and the ultrasonic Doppler method for the diagnosis of intrascrotal contents were described. Five cases of testicular tumor, two cases of hydrocele and one case of epididymal tuberculosis were successfully diagnosed by ultrasonography. Only one case of chronic inflammation was misdiagnosed as a testicular tumor. Two cases of testicular torsion and two cases of acute epididymitis were easily differentiated by the ultrasonic Doppler method. We suggest that this is the most reliable technique for differentiation between these two diseases.
