Imaging Techniques to Differentiate Benign Testicular Masses from Germ Cell Tumors

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To discuss role of different diagnostic imaging modalities in differentiation of benign testicular masses from seminomatous germ cell tumors (SGCTs) and non-seminomatous GCTs (NSGCTs). RECENT FINDINGS: New modalities of ultrasonography, including contrast enhancement and shear wav...

description PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To discuss role of different diagnostic imaging modalities in differentiation of benign testicular masses from seminomatous germ cell tumors (SGCTs) and non-seminomatous GCTs (NSGCTs). RECENT FINDINGS: New modalities of ultrasonography, including contrast enhancement and shear wave elastography, may help differentiate between benign and malignant intratesticular lesions. SUMMARY: Ultrasonography remains the recommended imaging modality for initial evaluation of testicular masses. However, MRI can be used to better define equivocal testicular lesions on US.
