Rule out tumor: Need to rule out testicular tumor, quite possibly a sertoli or a leydig cell tumor. Boy needs to have tumor markers of alphafetoprotein (AFP) ; beta hcg. Unusual for it to have grown so large. Also needs a scrotal ultrasound. Tumor needs to be removed with intra-operative frozen section pathology if available. This is a rare tumor ; hopefully benign. Needs expert care. Please keep us informed.
