Scrotal Mass
What are the long-term effects of the condition?
Epidermal cysts, hydroceles, and spermatoceles are benign lesions. They are important only if they bother the person because of size or pain.
Varicoceles can cause discomfort, but more commonly they cause infertility in men.
Hematoceles themselves are benign. If the bleeding that causes them is not due to trauma or surgery, the cause must be found. An underlying disease, such as a testicular tumor, could be the source of the bleeding.
Solid masses in a testicle are assumed to be malignant testicular tumors until proven otherwise. These tumors can spread to other parts of the body very easily, but modern treatments provide a very high rate of cure.
