Abstract
Sonography was used to evaluate 65 patients with the clinical diagnosis of primary scrotal mass. A preoperative diagnosis of scrotal hernia was made in 6 patients and confirmed in 5 cases. There was 1 false-positive result due to an inguinoscrotal abscess. Scanning the inguinal region in addition to the scrotum facilitated the diagnosis of scrotal hernia by identifying intestine and/or omentum within the inguinal canal with extension into the scrotum.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
