What is the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound in the assessment of deep infiltrating endometriosis when performed by a sonographer? A review of the current literature

Abstract

Materials and Methods: All of eleven cases were confirmed either pathologically or clinically. We present 3 cases of scrotal neoplasms (immature teratoma, rapid growing and large seminoma, mixed germ cell tumor), 2 cases of infectious diseases (tuberculous epididymoorchitis, mumps epididymo-orchitis, 3 cases of other scrotal diseases (testicular torsion, testicular rupture, epididymal rupture), and 3 cases of penile diseases (penile fracture, paraffinoma, leiomyosarcoma). Results: Eleven cases of various diseases involving the male genitalia showed the variable ultrasonographic findings on grey scale and color Doppler ultrasonography. Clinical history is helpful in the diagnosis of some cases, such as mumps epididymitis, post-traumatic rupture of testis or epididymis, penile fracture or penile paraffinoma. Conclusion: We have to know the clinical history and specific ultrasonographic findings of various diseases of male genitalia for the exact diagnosis and differentiation.
