¿Qué pasa si tengo una masa en los testículos?

El escroto contiene los testículos y las estructuras asociadas que producen, almacenan y transportan el esperma y las hormonas masculinas. Las masas escrotales pueden ser acumulaciones de líquidos, crecimientos de tejidos anormales o contenidos normales del escroto que se han inflamado, hinchado o endurecido.

¿Cómo curar las masas escrotales?

Las masas escrotales causadas por una infección bacteriana, como suele ser el caso de la epididimitis, se tratan con antibióticos. En general, las infecciones virales que causan epididimitis u orquitis se tratan con reposo, hielo y medicamentos para aliviar el dolor.

Are seminomas malignant?

A seminoma is a germ cell tumor of the testicle or, more rarely, the mediastinum or other extra-gonadal locations. It is a malignant neoplasm and is one of the most treatable and curable cancers, with a survival rate above 95% if discovered in early stages.

Are seminomas benign or malignant?

Is adenoma benign or malignant?

Adenomas are benign tumors starting in the epithelial tissue of a gland or gland-like structure. The epithelial tissue is the thin layer of tissue covering organs, glands, and other structures. A common type of adenoma is a polyp in the colon.

Can a testicle tumor be benign?

A non-cancerous (benign) tumour of the testicle is a growth that does not spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body. Non-cancerous tumours are not usually life-threatening. They are typically removed with surgery and do not usually come back (recur).

Are adenomas cancerous?

They’re considered benign, or noncancerous. But sometimes cancer can develop in an adenoma if it isn’t removed. If adenomas become cancerous, they’re referred to as adenocarcinomas. Less than 10 percent of all adenomas will turn into cancer, but more than 95 percent of colon cancers develop from adenomas.

How many testicular tumors are benign?

Testicular masses should be regarded as neoplasm until proven otherwise (only 1% of testis tumors in adults are benign). Approximately 90-95% of testicular tumors are derived from the germ cells.

Are most testicular tumors malignant?

A tumor may be benign, or noncancerous, meaning it does not spread; or it may be malignant, or cancerous, meaning it can spread to other parts of the body. Most testicular cancers develop in the germ cells, which produce sperm.
