Abstract
The results obtained from a continuous series of 48 patients have been critically appraised. The report of the diaphanoscopy appeared pathognomonic only in the event of hyper-diaphanous cystic formation and of varicocele. In all other types of pathology the report was aspecific, requiring a knowledge of the clinical picture for its interpretation, and sometimes absent (neoplasia in the initial phase). For these reasons the diaphanoscopy of the scrotum may be considered as part of a clinical examination and not as a complete (self sufficient) experimental examination
