Over the last 9 months, my left teticle appears to have become larger than the right testicle,and a marble size mass has appeared behind (posterior) to the left testicle. I assume that the mass is the epididymis or attached duct. Is this most likely inflammation of both structures, or something more serious? I will make an appointment to see a urologist, but that usually takes some time, so I am seeking advice in the interim.

Sounds like a Spermatecele (cyst) has developed. If there is no pain they usually let it go, they are considered harmless. I've got the same thing - ask for an ultrasound to be sure.
