CORCOLES-GARCIA, Sara; NAVARRO-PLAZA, Eugenia; CORCOLES-GARCIA, Marta e DEL CAMPO-GIMENEZ, María. Negative transillumination in testicular pathology. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2023, vol.16, n.2, pp.121-123. Epub 18-Set-2023. ISSN 2386-8201. https://dx.doi.org/10.55783/rcmf.160211.
Testicular tumors account for 1% to 2% of male neoplasms, the most common being seminoma. In patients who consult due to the presence of a mass or subacute testicular pain, it is important to undertake a thorough history and physical examination. We must rely on two exploratory techniques to be able to perform a suitable differential diagnosis and detect urgent testicular pathology: transillumination and testicular ultrasound. Treatment includes performing an orchiectomy and depends on tumor stage and chemotherapy.
