Objective: To correlate gray-scale testicular sonography and SonoElastography of intratesticular masses with histopathology confirmation. Methods: Included in this study were 20 intratesticular masses detected on gray-scale high-reslution sonography. All these lesions were additionally evaluated with SonoElastography (Hitachi EUB-8500). Sonoelastography displays the tissue elasticity from red (soft) to blue (stiff). Hard lesions were considered as malignant. All patients had tumormarkers, histopathology confirmation and/or follow-up examination. Results: Thirteen/20 lesions with increased stiffness in SonoElasto…
