Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of sonography in the identification of several types of lesions seen in patients with Peyronie disease (PD). METHODS: A total of 78 patients were examined. Penile lesions were counted, classified, and categorized according to their anatomic location and sonographic presentation. RESULTS: The classic sonographic presentation, as well as less common and novel findings, are described and correlated with clinically relevant data and physical examination findings. CONCLUSIONS: Sonography can precisely assess the size and location of the plaques found in PD and can also aid in treatment.
