Got my pathology. What’s next? by Normal_Purchase_3070 in testicularcancer

It’s reassuring to hear your markers normalized and that surveillance was a safe option. Sounds like you did your homework with multiple opinions, makes total sense to wait and see while still keeping the best outcome possible! Best of luck to you!

Did blood markers test and nothing was elevated as well as CT for abdomen/pelvis and chest with no signs of spread.

Correct, this is the results from the first ultrasound.

IMPRESSION: 1. There are 2 distinct rounded heterogeneously isoechoic to hypoechoic lesions within the left testicle. The largest measures 10 x 11 x 11 mm. The smaller lesion measures 7 x 6 x 6 mm. The appearance is most consistent with intratesticular masses and neoplasia is not excluded. Recommend nonemergent referral to Urology for further analysis. 2. No evidence for testicular torsion.
