Get checked...: The best way to know for sure is to get checked by your physician. An ultrasound and biopsy may be needed if there's any doubt. If it is a cancer, the sooner it's caught and treated, the better your outcome is likely to be.

Unlikely cancer.: It unlikely to be testicular cancer. However, any testicular lump should be evaluated first by your primary care physician. He or she might refer you for a testicular ultrasound and a urologist for further evaluation.
