Overview
Symptoms of seminoma include painless testicular mass with discomfort, back pain, abdominal discomfort, or abdominal mass.[1]
Symptoms
- Most common presentation of testicular seminoma is a painless testicular mass, although 45% will report a degree of testicular discomfort.[1]
- Bilateral tumors are rare (~2%) and are almost always asynchronous.
- Diagnosis following trauma is common as it draws the patient’s attention to the lump.
- Back pain, abdominal discomfort, or abdominal mass may be a presenting feature in the 25% of patients who have retroperitoneal nodal metastases.
- Presentation with distant or extranodal metastases is rare (5%).[1]
