ABSTRACT

Introduction: ultrasound is a non-invasive, widely distributed and low-cost technique that constitutes the study of choice of scrotal disease.
Objective: to clinically and ultrasonographically characterize patients with scrotal lesions treated at the “Abel Santamaría Cuadrado” hospital.
Method: an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in patients with scrotal lesions treated at the “Abel Santamaría Cuadrado” General Teaching Hospital belonging to the province of Pinar del Río in the period between 2016 and 2018. The universe consisted of 62 patients. Theoretical, empirical and statistical methods were used for data collection and analysis.
Results: the age group with the highest incidence was 30 to 39 years old (35,5 %). Pain was found in 61,3 % of patients, lesions that affected the left scrotum predominated (47,0 %). The presence of fluid in the scrotum was the most frequent ultrasonographic finding (48,4 %) and the disease with the highest incidence was varicocele with 43,5%.
Conclusions: scrotal ultrasound is a key piece in the evaluation of patients with symptoms at this level, both for ease of access and repetition, as well as for the great information it provides in most cases, which allows immediately, guide the process and attitude to follow in the patient.
