Overview
Evaluation of Scrotal Mass
The evaluation of scrotal mass is as follows:[1]
Evaluation of the scrotal mass | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Painful | Nonpainful | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
High-riding or horizontal testicle; nausea/vomiting? | Transilluminates? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Yes | No | Yes | No | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Presumed torsion Doppler ultrasonogram, urology consult | Blue dot sign? | Hydrocele | "Bag of worms" on palpation that increases on Valsalva maneuvers | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Yes | No | Yes | No | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Torsion of testicular appendage | Lack of blood flow on doppler sonogram, C-reactive protein level <24 mg per L | Varicocele | Reducible mass? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Yes | No | Yes | No | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Testicular torsion; urgent surgery | Likely epididymitis/orchitis, possibly incarcerated inguinal hernia, or hemorrhagic testicular cancer | Hernia | Extratesticular and nontender | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Yes | No | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Likely benign, further workup as needed | Doppler sonography prior to urology evaluation | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Unilateral mass | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Evaluate for testicular cancer: AFP, B-HCG, and LDH levels; MRI or CT scans may be considered to look for possible metastases and cryopreservation of sperm while awaiting urology evaluation | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
