torsed appendix testes

I recently found a pea sized lump on the top of left testicle, about an eighth of an inch from the epiditymis. My ultra-sound showed nothing, but my urologist told me it was a torsed appendix testes. that there were like five positions on the testicle that they can appear and this one had no name, but that's what it is. They also took a urine sample that was fine. Is it unlikely that is what this is since you said they are rarely palpable. Or does everyone have them and only some can feel it? He said that even the size of a BB or pea was too small to show up on an ultra sound. Is this a viable prognosis??
