1. -Hydrocele is fluid in tonica vaginalis (e.g. -Testicular FNAC or Bx is NEVER done because it is a/w risk of CA spread! -undescended testis (Cryptorchidism) usually descends spontaneously befor the age of 6 months, if not then surgical orchiopexy is needed to prevent torsion, and infertility, but the risk of testicular CA is still slightly higher then normal.
  2. hydrocele
    1. infection
      1. epidedmitis

        1. Rx. Surgery is needed to avoid testicular atrophy
      2. Right Varicocele, Bilateral, or if it does not disappear when laying supine
        1. 1st: do Abdominal CT to rule out inferior vena cava obstruction

          1. less likely to be CA
        2. solid=Still Can not out CA
          1. Radical Inguinal Orchiectomy for Histological Diagnosis
          2. Rx. it is CURABLE if treated before metastasis
