Description

Meng Zhu and colleagues reviewed 20 years of ultrasound practice for testicular lumps in children in a 2026 study from West China Hospital. Records covered 84 lumps in 79 patients aged up to 18, scanned between 2004 and 2023, and the analysis used the 2022 WHO tumour classification.

Ultrasound finds these rare lumps reliably, but telling harmless from malignant ones by image alone is unsettled. Statistical models compared image traits between the two groups across all lumps, primary tumours, and pre-teen cases. Clear image clues would help surgeons spare healthy tissue in benign cases while acting fast on cancers, a balance that matters greatly in children.
