ABSTRACT

An observational and descriptive study was carried out in the radiology unit at "Dr. Antonio Luaces Iraola" Provincial General Teaching Hospital, in Ciego de Avila, in the period between March 2009 to February 2011, with the aim of determining the value compatible diagnosis of the ultrasound in the testicular affections and structures. Patients with black skin color and the age group of 30-39 predominated, the weak signs were the most frequent clinic manifestation. Among the ultrasound findings the homogenous injury, unique, echolucent, small, extratesticular, not calcified, of regular contours and with normal size testicle were the most frequent. The benign affections were the predominant ones and the most frequent among them were hydrocele, varicocele and the epididymis cysts. There was correspondence between the clinical manifestations and the ultrasound findings. A high index of trustworthiness was obtained, with the high sensitivity and specificity, with low percentage of false positive.
