Specializes in Urology

Scrotal mass: Scrotal masses can be many things from a cyst, a dilated vein, a tumor, or more. There's no way of knowing what the mass is without a thorough evaluation and ultrasound. You should see your primary care physician to get evaluated and a urologist for follow up asap.
