Overview
Symptoms of seminoma include painless testicular mass with discomfort, back pain, abdominal discomfort, or abdominal mass.
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%).
- The majority of patients with [disease name] are asymptomatic. OR
- The hallmark of [disease name] is [finding]. A positive history of [finding 1] and [finding 2] is suggestive of [disease name]. The most common symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3].
- Symptoms of [disease name] include [symptom 1], [symptom 2], and [symptom 3].
History
Patients with [disease name]] may have a positive history of:
- [History finding 1]
- [History finding 2]
- [History finding 3]
Common Symptoms
- The painless testicular mass is the pathonomonic of the testicular cancer.[2]
- Common symptoms of seminoma include:[3][2]
- Painless lump in the testicle
- Swelling of the testicle
- Feeling of heaviness in the scrotum or abdomen
- Lymphadenopathy
- Pain in the back or abdomen
- Ascites
- Weight loss
