Abstract：Objective To discuss the application value of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of epididymal spaceoccupying
lesions. Methods 56 patients with epididymal space-occupying lesions received operations in our
hospital from January 2005 to December 2013. The clinical data and ultrasonographic data of these patients were
analyzed and compared with pathological results. Results Pathological results showed that among 56 cases, 14
cases were epididymitis, 12 cases were epididymal tuberculosis, 17 cases were epididymal cyst, 2 cases were
adenomatoid tumor, 7 cases were papillary adenoma and 4 cases were epididymal malignant tumor. Based on the
analysis of clinical data and ultrasonographic results, 39 patients were diagnosed as epididymal space-occupying
lesions before operations. Compared with pathological results, the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography was
69.64%. Conclusion Combined with clinical symptoms, palpation, laboratory examination and experimental
therapy, ultrasonography that owns the characteristics of intuition, non-invisibility and repeatability can help
medical staff improve the levels of diagnosis and differential diagnosis for epididymal space-occupying lesions.
