We suggest that for a man with testicular cancer who has a soft tissue mass, metastasis of soft tissue from testicular cancer and other solid malignancies should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a soft tissue mass together with primary soft [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Clinically the patient presents with a testicular mass, testicular atrophy, testicular pain and back pain following metastasis to the vertebra. Investigation findings include high level of alkaline phosphatase, elevated human chorionic gonadotropin. [differencebetween.com]
On exam, the physician discovers a hard, testicular mass on the right testis. On further questioning, the patient remarks that he first noticed it 6 months ago, but did not think he needed to have it examined since it wasn't painful. [medbullets.com]

For teratomas, which cannot be distinguished clinically from other tumours, the patient workup should be the same as would be for the evaluation of any other suspicious testicular masses. [omicsonline.org]
Treatment
The rhabdomyosarcomatous element infers a less favourable prognosis and standard treatment regimes well recognised for the treatment of teratoma of the testis may not be effective. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology
This data briefing examines the epidemiology of the main types of testicular tumours, and considers the likely impact of such a change in coding. [ncin.org.uk]
Introduction Testicular tumors can be of germ cell or non-germ cell origin germ cell origin are the majority (95%) and are more commonly malignant non-germ cell origin usually benign Epidemiology incidence most common cancer in men between 15-35 years [medbullets.com]
Testes Overview Epidemiology [ edit ] 7000 cases/yr. Most common neoplasm in men ages 15-35. [en.wikibooks.org]
These groups are defined by epidemiological characteristics, histological composition and chromosomal constitution (Table 1). [atlasgeneticsoncology.org]
Epidemiology These account for 1-2% of all tumours The incidence is very low, with prevalence being about 5 per 100 000 They are the most common cancer in men ages 15-35 Ovarian cell cancers are far less common than testicular cancers Teratomas tend to [almostadoctor.co.uk]
Pathophysiology

Pathophysiology: Teratomas are made up of a variety of parenchymal cell types representative of more than a single germ layer, usually all 3. Arising from totipotential cells, these tumors typically are midline or para-axial. [csh.org.tw]
Pathophysiology [ edit ] Teratomas belong to a class of tumors known as nonseminomatous germ cell tumor (N.S.G.C.T.). All tumors of this class are the result of abnormal development of pluripotent cells: germ cells and embryonal cells. [en.wikipedia.org]

Men diagnosed with a teratoma, with no evidence of metastases (spread of the disease), either have two courses of adjuvant chemotherapy to prevent any spread, or they may be monitored (surveillance), with frequent blood tests and x-rays. [healthtalk.org]
