A scrotal mass is often identified by the patient as an abnormal lump during self-palpation. Scrotal lumps can be caused by cystic lesions or solid tumours of the testis or paratesticular structures, trauma, inflammations or testicular torsion, varicocele, fluid collections, inguinoscrotal hernia or tumours of the scrotal wall. When a patient presents with a scrotal mass, it is extremely important to collect a detailed history which includes duration of symptoms, whether the mass is painful or painless, change in size of mass, sexual history, concomitant lower urinary tract symptoms, previous history of surgery, infertility or mumps and family history of testicular cancer.

Abstract
A scrotal mass is often identified by the patient as an abnormal lump during self-palpation. Scrotal lumps can be caused by cystic lesions or solid tumours of the testis or paratesticular structures, trauma, inflammations or testicular torsion, varicocele, fluid collections, inguinoscrotal hernia or tumours of the scrotal wall. When a patient presents with a scrotal mass, it is extremely important to collect a detailed history which includes duration of symptoms, whether the mass is painful or painless, change in size of mass, sexual history, concomitant lower urinary tract symptoms, previous history of surgery, infertility or mumps and family history of testicular cancer.
