Ultrasonic evaluation of the scrotum in lymphoproliferative disease

G. Phillips, S. Kumari-Subaiya and A. Sawitsky

Scrotal ultrasound examinations of 23 male adults and children with the diagnosis of lymphoproliferative disease (LPD) were performed. Diagnoses included acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) (six patients); acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) (one patient); chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) (nine patients); non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (four patients); Hodgkin's lymphoma (three patients). Sonography-biopsy correlation was 100% in identifying testicular infiltrates. Nine of ten patients with testicular involvement had bilateral disease. Six patients had nonpalpable disease correctly identified by sonography. Ultrasound has great potential value as a screening modality for testicular biopsy in ALL and for detecting subclinical or nonpalpable disease in adults with LPD.
