x
Later: hypoechoic or anechoic areas and a decrease in testicular size
x
CDS: decreased or absent blood flow
n
Urethral strictures: The corpora cavernosa are easily distinguished by their fine
echo texture from the corpus spongiosum and thus from the urethra. Urethral strictures due to scarring can be diagnosed with a high-resolution scanner after fluid instillation.
Evaluation and Further Testing
..............................................................................................................
n
Sonography: Genital tract abnormalities are often detected incidentally on ultra-
sound examination, and frequently they are difficult to interpret. For this reason the essential findings should at least be classified as requiring follow-up and/or requiring further, specific investigation.
n
Further testing
!
Caution: Any indeterminate hypoechoic lesion of the prostate requires further
investigation.
x
Digital rectal examination (DRE), possible urological follow-up
x
Prostate-specific antigen test: Normal PSA ranges are age-dependent, and today carcinoma is being detected even in younger men (positive family history is linked to increased risk). Combining PSA with DRE increases the positive predictive value to 49 %.
x
Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS): Because of its low specificity and sensitivity as a screening modality, TRUS alone is generally relegated to a role in the diagnostic work-up of other abnormal screening tests like DRE and PSA and follow up after therapeutic modalities.

Functional cysts such as follicular and corpus luteum cysts (dependent on the menstrual cycle, Fig.
x
Premenopausal cysts I 3 cm (to 5 cm) = theca-lutein cysts (correspond to folli­cular cysts; multiple bilateral)

x
Polycystic ovary (Stein–Leventhal syndrome, Fig. 592): caused by unphysiologi- cal stimulation; enlarged ovaries with multiple cysts up to 5–10 cm in size and

Cystic ovarian tumors (Figs. 593 and 594):
x
Serous cystadenoma (Fig. 593): benign – Unilocular – Sharply circumscribed, relatively small anechoic mass with echogenic (solid)
components
x
Mucinous cystadenoma: septated or loculated ovarian cyst, sometimes quite large – Usually unilateral – Large, bilateral lesions are more likely to be malignant (20 % of cases).
!
Caution: Percutaneous biopsy is contraindicated because of the risk of intra-
abdominal spread.
x
Cystadenocarcinoma (Fig. 594): A cystic mass with solid components is always suspicious for carcinoma. Ascites can often be detected because of peritoneal carcinomatosis. – Cyst walls show echogenic foci of tumor thickening – Polypoid structures projecting into the cyst
