Common Causes
Scrotal mass may be caused by tumor, infection, injury, inflammation, or fluid buildup, which can cause different types of masses.[1] In regards to testicular cancer, some issues may increase its probability. A family history of testicular cancer; the genetic disorder Klinefelter syndrome, which results in two or more X chromosomes; or an undescended testicle all can increase the probability of scrotal tumors.
