Painless mass.: Testicular cancer usually presents as a painless mass in the scrotum. Because there is often no pain, many unfortunately delay evaluation. As the mass enlarges, there may be discomfort or a sensation of fullness in the scrotum, seen in 30-40%. 10% experience acute pain. If the cancer spreads, symptoms of more advanced disease such as neck mass, back pain, bone pain, or cough may result.

Mass: The main presenting finding for testicular cancer is a mass on the testicle. It usually will not be very tender, but is new and noticeable. The simplest test to evaluate a testicular mass with is a flashlight to see if it is solid or hollow. A urologist will do an ultrasound to help better define. Some testic ca, s have different blood markers but these are not ordered unless ca is suspected.

Testicular cancer: Testicular cancer is the most common solid tumor of young adult males. The tumor usually presents as a firm, non-tender irrregularity of the testis. Since it is generally painless, regular self examinations should be performed by every male.
