Incidental Findings and How to Manage Them: Testis- A WFUMB Position Paper

Ultrasound Med Biol. 2021 Oct;47(10):2787-2802. doi: 10.1016/j.ultrasmedbio.2021.05.022. Epub 2021 Jul 22.

Abstract

Testicular incidentalomas are non-palpable, asymptomatic lesions, most frequently detected on ultrasound examinations. Each incidentaloma should undergo a standardized diagnostic workup to exclude malignancy and recognize other potentially significant non-malignant conditions that may first present with an incidental finding on scrotal ultrasound. This position statement of the World Federation of Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (WFUMB) summarizes the available evidence on management of testicular incidentalomas and describes efficient management strategies with particular reference to the role of ultrasound techniques.

Keywords: Follow-up; Incidental findings; Testis; Ultrasound.
