I felt it today.
No pain, no tenderness.
No investigations.
No urinary complaints.
Yes, the torsion was parcial and the surgery was fast enough. It was done in 2012.

To be more precise I felt it during a erection, at the time it seemed like a lump, but know it feels like accentuated rugged surface.
Brief Answer:
As detailed.
Detailed Answer:
As per the history you have provided, this is not symptomatic and you had found it out incidentally.
Hence it is most probably a part of epididymis.
If you develop any symptoms or if you have any doubts, the best way is to get a clinical examination and/or Ultrasound with color doppler. I hope, you understand how important it is since you were operated for torsion of testis.
You are 19 years old as per you have mentioned hence the need.
Please give feedback.
