I have unilateral testicular atrophy. is the one dead testicle dangerous to keep (cancer or something) and should i undergo surgery to remove it?

Sorry to hear that. You have a choice-1 yearly follow up by your urologist 2 have it removed. An atrophied (dead testicle will not turn into cancer as all the cells are dead
