PIAMO MORALES, Alberto José  e  GARCIA ROJAS, Mayra Afrodita. Use of elastosonography in the diagnosis of Peyronie's disease. Acta méd centro [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.2, pp. 257-267.  Epub 30-Jun-2020. ISSN 2709-7927.

Introduction:

Peyronie's disease is an inflammatory disorder characterized by the presence of a fibrous plaque in the tunica albuginea of the penis that causes pain, curvature and shortening of the penis and, in some cases, erectile dysfunction.

Objective:

to describe the use, findings and potential of elastosonography in the diagnosis of Peyronie's disease.

Method:

a search of the literature is carried out in databases such as Medline, Hinari and Imbiomed.

Results:

elastosonography is a method for the evaluation of fibrosis in different organs, so it can be used in the diagnosis of fibrous lesions of Peyronie's disease.

Conclusions:

elastosonography has the potential to better identify and characterize these fibrous lesions underestimated by B-mode ultrasound.

Palavras-chave : penile induration; elastosonography; diagnostic imaging of elasticity; fibrosis.
