Ultrasound forms an important part of the assessment of the testicle. Nevertheless, there are a number of situations in which clinical and radiological assessment is unable to provide a definitive diagnosis of a testicular lump. In these situations, historically, either open biopsy or orchidectomy has been performed. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous testicular biopsy is an alternative, less invasive method of obtaining histological diagnosis. Here we describe the rationale, technique and potential uses of the technique.
超声检查是睾丸评估的重要组成部分。然而,在许多情况下,临床和影像学评估都无法明确诊断睾丸肿块。在这些情况下,传统上,要么进行开放性活检,要么进行睾丸切除术。超声引导下经皮睾丸活检是一种获得组织学诊断的替代方法,具有侵袭性更小的优点。在此,我们将描述该技术的原理、技术和潜在用途。
