-==Overview==
-A mass in the scrotum can be in the contents of the scrotum, the wall, or the scrotum itself. All scrotal masses should be evaluated via surgical investigation. Scrotal masses are separated into two categories: Painful and nonpainful masses.
-[[Torsion]] is painful and may require surgical intervention. Scrotal swelling that does not contain a mass is most likely associated with a different medical condition such as [[heart failure]] or [[edema]].
-NOTE:ALL INTRATESTICULAR MASSES ARE CONSIDERED CANCER UNLESS PROVEN OTHERWISE.
-== Diagnosis ==
-=== MRI and CT ===
-*Abdominal CT if solid mass is found.
-====MRI Findings====
-=== Echocardiography or Ultrasound ===
-*Ultrasound should be performed on all patients.
-*Doppler if suspicion of torsion.
-=== Other Diagnostic Studies ===
