A member asked:
How do drs distinguish between a cyst and testicular cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very different: A cyst is a fluid filled thin-walled structure without a solid component or abnormal color flow on doppler. Testicular cancer is solid (though sometimes with cystic spaces in it) that may also show areas of increased blood flow on color doppler ultrasound.
