Abstract
Peyronie’s disease (PD) is a well-known penile condition that primarily affects adult males. Patients with PD typically present with a palpable nodule in the penis. However, there has now been evidence of young males being affected thus making early identification important. Imaging has crucial role in the localization, characterization, and confirming the diagnosis of the disease. Ultrasonography is the most preferred modality. The disease has two stages: early and late, with chances of improvement when treated early. We present varied imaging findings associated with PD based on the classification of Bekos et al. with the use of color Doppler investigation whenever necessary.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Medical Ultrasound is the peer-reviewed publication of the Asian Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology, and the Chinese Taipei Society of Ultrasound in Medicine. Its aim is to promote clinical and scientific research in ultrasonography, and to serve as a channel of communication among sonologists, sonographers, and medical ultrasound physicians in the Asia-Pacific region and wider international community. The Journal invites original contributions relating to the clinical and laboratory investigations and applications of ultrasonography.
