Hard Painless Nodule on Left Testicle

Posted By Curt on May 19, 1999 at 16:40:44
Seven years ago, at age 29, I noticed a hard painless nodule 2-3MM in size on the outer side of my left testicle.  Fortunately, I was already into self examination. I rushed to a urologist, who after a simple physical exam, told me it was just a spermatocele.  Over the years it has remained basically unchanged. My concern is that everything I have read today on your sight about spermatoceles, hydroceles, etc., make it sound like such swellings are usually associated with other structures of the scrotum, but not directly "attached" to a testicle.  This nodule is basically "protruding" from my testicle.  After seven years, I'd like to think it could not possibly be cancer, but do you think I should again get this checked out and insist on some testing?
Thanks for your time.
