Presentation  Most testicular germ cell tumors present with progressive, painless enlargement of the testis.  They may grow slowly or with appalling speed.  Sometimes, the initial presentation is in the form of a metastatic deposit in the retroperitoneum [slideshare.net]

• Scrotal Mass

  A scrotal mass is an abnormal bulge or lump inside your scrotum. The scrotum is a sac of skin that contains your testicles. A scrotal mass can be a swollen testicle or it can contain fluid or other tissue. [healthline.com]

  All new scrotal masses whose onset was sudden in nature should be considered torsion until proven otherwise. [cancertherapyadvisor.com]

  Testicular cancer begins as a scrotal mass, which is usually not painful. Diagnosis is by ultrasonography. [msdmanuals.com]

  A painless testicular mass is the classic presentation for testicular cancer, although a number of patients present with diffuse pain or swelling. Ultrasonography may be helpful in confirming the presence of a scrotal mass within the testicle. [aafp.org]

  Most of the patients with AGCT presented with slowly growing painless testicular masses with several of whom reporting a duration of symptoms for many years [7, 22, 30]. [hindawi.com]

Metastatic workup was done: contrast-enhanced computed tomography of whole abdomen and pelvis was within normal limits. [jcmtjournal.com]

These patients should undergo a full course of antibiotics and if the swelling is not resolved after that, they should undergo further workup to exclude possible testicular tumor. [lecturio.com]

Laboratory workup disclosed no abnormal results. [hindawi.com]

Treatment options include surgery, radiation and/or chemotherapy. Regular exams after treatment are important. Treatments may also cause infertility. [icd10data.com]

Cases with intermediate prognosis should be treated with cycles of chemotherapy, whilst those with poor prognosis should be treated with one cycle of chemotherapy before reassessment (those with marker decline should have continued chemotherapy cycles [teachmesurgery.com]

Prognosis for testicular cancer Prognosis means the expected outcome of a disease. An individual's prognosis depends on the type and stage of cancer as well as their age and general health at the time of diagnosis. [cancer.org.au]

Manifestation code identifies conditions for which it is important to record both the etiology and the symptom of the disease. [books.google.com]
