• Inguinal Mass

  We report the case in a 72-year-old man who presented with a right inguinal mass and with a one month history that was initially interpreted as an inguinal hernia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Scrotal Mass

  A 40-year-old man presented with a scrotal mass that was diagnosed as spermatic cord paraganglioma with malignant histological features. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Testicular Mass

  Pathology of the testicular mass was reviewed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The most common clinical form of presentation was a painless testicular mass. The a-fetoprotein levels were high in 5 patients (yolk-sac tumors and embryonal carcinomas). [dialnet.unirioja.es]

• Swelling of the Scrotum

  Heat relaxes the scrotum, making it easier to spot anything abnormal. The National Cancer Institute recommends following these steps every month: Stand in front of a mirror. Check for any swelling on the scrotum skin. [washington.edu]

• Urinary Retention

  Based on the few reported cases, it may present with abdominal or flank pain, abdominal mass, fatigue, unexplained fever, and even acute urinary retention [ 5 Ghosh A, Dwivedi US, Kumar A. [benthamopen.com]

This report highlights the rare presentation and workup of an inguinal mass, importance of intraoperative decision making based on operative findings and the significance of postoperative pathology findings. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A review of the literature about the role of adjuvant treatments is also discussed. A 59-year-old man presented a right testicular mass of about 4 × 3 cm in size. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

There is no standard treatment protocol as there is no consensus on standardized surgical or adjuvant treatment. Treatment of choice is radical surgical excision (inguinal orchiectomy) [ 3 ]. [scitechnol.com]

Although the prognosis of patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the spermatic cord is typically poor, the prognosis of our patients was favorable after follow-up for 14 to 18 months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

prognosis compared with those with poor health Age of the individual: Older individuals generally have poorer prognosis than younger individuals Whether the tumor is occurring for the first time, or is a recurrent tumor. [dovemed.com]
