ABSTRACT

The testicular cancer is the most common malignancy in men 20 to 35 years of age, represents 1 to 2% of all cancers in men, early diagnosis has a cure rate close to 99%. The 90 to 95% of the testicular neoplasms originate in the germinal cells by spermatogenic cells, which makes it the testicular neoplasm of greater importance for its study and detection. Germ cell tumors are subdivided into two groups: seminomatous and non-seminomatous. This distinction is important for treatment and prognosis. Ultrasound is the modality of image of choice for the evaluation of testicular pathology.
