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.
