Testicular tumour. Coloured 3-D ultrasound scan of a patient with an haemangioma (lower centre) on his testicle. Haemangiomas are benign tumours that are caused by abnormal growth of the blood vessels. Most haemangioma growths do not produce symptoms,although a few may become painful,or rupture and cause severe bleeding. In these cases surgery would be required. Ultrasound is a diagnostic technique that sends high frequency sound waves into the body via a transducer. The returning echoes are recorded and used to build an image of an internal structure. 3-D ultrasound uses computer technology to return more detailed images than conventional 2-D scans | |
