Colour Doppler ultrasound (CDUS) is the main radiologic tool to evaluate scrotal masses and intratesticular-vascularised solid lesions are mostly considered malign lesions. Objective of this trial is determine ratio of benign lesions in patients with hypervascularised solid intratesticular lesions.
