What is Testicular Tumor?
A testicular tumor is a lump or swelling on either testicle. The tumor may be benign, which doesn't spread to other parts of the body, or malignant, commonly known as cancerous, which means it can spread to other parts of the body. Testicular cancer is usually first noted as a firm lump in the testicle. New testicular lumps always need immediate evaluation by a doctor. Pain or discomfort in the affected testicle or lower abdomen might also be present. The primary risk factor is having an undescended testicle or a family history of testicular cancer.
Typical Symptoms of Testicular Tumor
Swollen scrotum or testicles
Swelling of the affected area
Swollen lymph nodes, usually small swellings at the neck, armpits, groin and behind the ears
Unintentional weight loss of more than 5% or 1-2kg in a month
Lumps under the skin

Treatmentof Testicular Tumor
The patient is usually referred to a urologist who orders an ultrasound of the tumor. If the ultrasound appearance looks like malignancy (cancer), specific blood tests will be drawn as well as body scans. Depending on the type and stage of the tumor, you may receive one or several treatments. In benign or earlier stages, surgery alone will be sufficient. In the later stages, chemotherapy and radiation may be recommended after surgery.
