Testicular seminoma
Updates to Case Attributes
Testicular cancers are divided to : Seminomas andinto seminomas and non-seminomas, while. The exact etiology of testicular cancer is unknown, but studies show that if the patient has undescended testis, he is inat increased risk of testicular cancer.
Testicular cancers are initially evaluated, by clinical exam and ultrasonography, and there are multiple treatment methods that available for this certain type of testicular cancers.
The following non-painful causes of testicular swelling should be considered in the workup of a hydrocelescrotal mass:
-
Spermatocele.spermatocele -
Varicocele.varicocele -
Hematocele.hematocele -
Inguinalinguinal hernia (bowel) -

The left testis is enlarged and almost replaced by a heterogenous mainly hypoechoic lesion showing internal vascularity with area of necrosis measuring about 5.7 x 5.7 x 8 cm ( 155(155 mL in volume) suggesting testicular neoplasm (malignancy)malignancy.
Complimentary abdominal ultrasound shows a left para-aortic, irregular, hypoechoic massesmass suggesting metastatic lymph nodes measuring about 5.6 x 5.7 cm.
The right testis, epididymal head, and the visualised part of the left epididymal head appear of normal size, shape and echogenicity without focal lesion.
Mild left-sided hydrocoelehydrocele is noted measuring about 4.6 x 3.8 x 6.1 cm( 54 (54 mL in volume).Minimal non-significant right-sided hydrocoelehydrocele is noted.
