Testicular mass: Masses in the testes, especially in young need follow up, blood work -alpha-fetoprotein, b HCG  , additional imaging to check metastases,  Malignancy is a primary concern , occasionally dystrophic calcified nodule, epidermoid cysts, sarcoid,  inflammatory /autoimmune  Tb, others  can cause abnormalities . F/u/ w/ urology as soon as possible.

Question 2

hi. i've had a ultrasound on my testicle s. ultrasound found a small 2mm single calcification in my left testicle. i've been discharged. i was wondering if this is correct, and if it can lead to cancer, or whether i'm at a higher risk?

Accepted Answer

: This can happen due to various reasons and is not alarming if the rest of the testicle was normal. You are not at a higher risk for cancer because of that. But in your age group it is recommended that you learn testicular self exam from your Urologist. Also a good idea to follow-up with ultrasound every 1-2 years to see for any change.

Question 3

can calcification of the testicle lead to cancer? help please?

Accepted Answer

No.: Testicular cancer almost always presents as a lump in the testicle itself, not in the tube-like structures attached to it.

Question 4

circular hypoechoic  lesion (0.7 x 0.6 x 0.5 c) in midpole of right testicle. no internal vascular flow or calcification found. what is the diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

Cyst: Hypoechoic and avascular generally mean fluid filled.  Although you definitely should be examined by a urologist, this most likely represents a testicular cyst.

Question 5

what could a lump on the bottom of my right testicle be. it is only noticeable when i'm aroused. i've had ultrasound and found nothing other than some calcification?

Accepted Answer

Exam!: Most testicular lumps are harmless, but some are associated with a serious disease. There are various possible causes of a lump on your testicle including a varicocele, hydrocele, testicular torsion, epididymal cyst, hernia, testicular torsion &amp; testicular cancer. I therefore suggest regular exams with your Family Doctor who will refer you for further exams if necessary. I wish you well!

Question 6

what is the best option if i have a mass in my testicle.  the mass is a hypoechoic mass with calcification and the mass has its own vascular supply.  does this mass sound cancerous?  should the restocked be removed?

Accepted Answer

Urologist: A urologist is best to advise you about this matter. You may wish to consult one at a university hospital if you aren't receiving definitive advice at this time.

Question 7

difference between a calcification and a cyst on the tunica albuginea of my testicle? ive gone to a few urologists about a lump. one said the lump was a calcification, and two other said it was a cyst. should i be worried either way?

Accepted Answer

: Calcification is deposition of calcium and cyst is a cavity with fluid in it. They can be differentiated by ultra sound. . Lump is different than either. So get the correct diagnosis and have a Urologist explain the findings and treatment options to you

Question 8

i have one dead, shrunken testicle in my scrotum. ultrasound shows few tiny foci of  calcification, my other testicle is healthy. is it okay to leave it has such?

Accepted Answer

: Yes, it is normal to have those calcified foci, nothing to concern.

Question 9

punctate nonobstructing calcific fleck found on left kidney pelvis. i must control stone-mkg w/  urocit-k. will this fleck get bigger or pass?

Accepted Answer

Stone passable: If stone is described as punctate it is likely only a millimeter or two in diameter which makes it a good bet to pass if it moves into the kidney tube (ureter).  If you are on Urocit K (potassium citrate) I assume that you have been diagnosed with a low citrate level and this medication supplements the level which can prevent certain calcium crystals from forming.  Key is to have stone monitored, with good hydration

Question 10

please explain what it means to have your pelvis with calcification which is consistent with phleboliths?

Accepted Answer

Not a problem: Bits of calcium form in the walls of the pelvic veins. It's of no concern.
