What Causes A Hard Round Lump In The Testicle?

Hi Dr Andrew, I have heard people say that a lump that is loose is normally benign and one that is immovable more likely to be malignant? I spesifically refer to a lump on a testical that feels as round as a marble and stone hard. We have walked a path with prostrate cancer 5 years ago, and felt this lump last night and I am now very concerned. Lee

Hello,

Any hard lump in the testicle with the past history of prostate cancer must not be neglected at all. You must require:
- Physical examination with urologist or general surgeon
- Ultrasound and Doppler evaluation of the both testicles
- MRI scrotum (depending upon results of above two)
- Testicular biopsy is matter of concern to avoid spread through needle track in many cases

However, if your rest of the reports are available, I can guide you further precisely in this matter.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
