Primary intratesticular tumors are uncommon in children, but incidence and risk of malignancy both sharply increase during adolescence. Ultrasound is the mainstay for imaging the primary lesion, and cross-sectional modalities are often required for evaluation of regional or distant disease. However, variations to this approach are dictated by additional clinical and imaging nuances. This paper offers consensus recommendations for imaging of pediatric patients with a known or suspected primary testicular malignancy at diagnosis and during follow-up.
儿童原发性睾丸肿瘤少见,但在青春期发病率和恶性风险均显著增加。超声是原发性病变的主要影像学检查方法,对于评估局部或远处疾病通常需要使用横断面成像模态。然而,该方法的变化取决于其他临床和影像学特征。本文提供了在诊断和随访已知或疑似原发性睾丸恶性肿瘤的儿童患者时进行影像学检查的共识建议。
