My friend told me there is a tiny ball attached to his testicle, what can this be?

Epidydmal cyst: Your friend should see his doctor for an exam and a testicular ultrasound to further investigate this "tiny ball". It is likely to be a cyst on the epididymis or a cyst on the testicle. However, testicular tumors can also feel like a tiny ball on the testicle so he definitely needs a testicular ultrasound to rule out a tumor.

He should get seen: Even the very round-like-a-ball masses, which tend to be adenomatoid tumors, need to be checked by a competent physician. We don't want to miss cancer.
