Found A Small Dark Area In The Testicle

Hi. I went for a testicular ultrasound today and the sonographer found a small dark area in my testicle. I already knew I had some micro-calcifications from a previous scan 8 years ago.

The Sonographer informed the doctor and he contacted my own GP immediately. They didn't say it was TC - just that it is suspicious and that I would need follow-up tests by a Urologist at my local Hospital!

What does this really mean?
Thanks.
