I have had a small hard lump attached to the top of my right testicle for 17 years (not the epidymis). it has not really grown - could it be cancer?

Dr. Steven Ginsberg answered

Not likely related: There are several non-cancerous causes of lumps in and near the testicle. If it has been there for a long time, it is not likely cancer. A urologist specializes in these types of problems, and should be able to determine the cause of the lump.
