Patient-Friendly Summary of the ACR Appropriateness Criteria: Newly Diagnosed Palpable Scrotal Abnormality.

Abstract

Testicular cancer is most commonly a germ cell testicular tumor, which accounts for about 85% of all testicular tumors. Most men with testicular cancer are diagnosed early, before the cancer has spread outside of the testicle. Some men will have associated symptoms and seek medical care, whereas other men may have a lump on the testicle that they feel (palpate) or because one testicle appears or feels larger than the other.
