OVERVIEW
What Is a Testicular Tumor or Hematoma?
A testicular tumor is an abnormal growth inside the testicle that may be benign or cancerous. A testicular hematoma is a collection of blood within or around the testicle, usually following injury or trauma. Both conditions can cause swelling, pain, or a palpable lump and require prompt evaluation with physical examination and ultrasound. When surgery is recommended, the goal is accurate diagnosis, preservation of healthy tissue whenever possible, and complete treatment of the underlying condition.
CANDIDACY
Who Needs This?
Surgery may be recommended for patients with a persistent testicular lump, severe pain or swelling, suspicious ultrasound findings, traumatic hematoma that does not improve, suspected testicular cancer, or unexplained enlargement of the testicle. Early surgical assessment helps prevent complications and ensures timely treatment.
