Painless Scrotal Lumps: Current Therapeutic Approach and Follow-up.

Scrotal lesions can be broadly grouped by anatomical location as intratesticular or extratesticular. The clinician must consider a wide differential diagnosis based on this location, and a reliable and rapid differentiation of harmless from serious conditions such as cancer of the testis, is essential. Solid testicular masses are considered germ cell tumors until proven otherwise, but numerous other possible pathologies exist. The paratesticular region has the broadest differential diagnosis, as it contains numerous distinct structures and it is a common location for ectopic tissue and metastatic disease.

Abstract: Scrotal lesions can be broadly grouped by anatomical location as intratesticular or extratesticular. The clinician must consider a wide differential diagnosis based on this location, and a reliable and rapid differentiation of harmless from serious conditions such as cancer of the testis, is essential. Solid testicular masses are considered germ cell tumors until proven otherwise, but numerous other possible pathologies exist. The paratesticular region has the broadest differential diagnosis, as it contains numerous distinct structures and it is a common location for ectopic tissue and metastatic disease.
