32
Q

A mass that does not transilluminate could be what four things ?

33
Q

A 21-year-old male presents complaining of a “nodule” on the back of his left testicle found during self-examination of his testes. On examination, you find both testes to be of normal size, shape, and consistency. On the back of the left testis in the area of the “nodule,” you find a soft, nodular, tube-like structure with no areas of abnormal tenderness. Your most likely diagnosis is:

a. Acute epididymitis
b. Cyst of the epididymis
c. Normal epididymis
d. Carcinoma of the epididymis

A

c. Normal epididymis
• The epididymis is located on the superior, posterior surface of each testis. It feels nodular, soft and cordlike and should not be confused with an abnormal lump

34
Q

Techniques for inspecting hernias and lymphatic:

A
  • Sit comfortably in front of the standing patient
  • Note any areas of bulging or asymmetry
  • Ask the patient to strain and bear down, making it easier to detect any hernias
35
Q

If a large scrotal mass is found, ask the patient to lie down. If the mass disappears, it is a _______.

A

Hernia

36
Q

If the mass remains you should do what ?

A
  • Listen to the mass with a stethoscope. If bowel sounds are heard, it is a hernia.
  • Shine a strong light from behind the scrotum through the mass (transillumination). If a red glow is observed, it is probably not a hernia
37
Q

Which of the following statements about hernias is true?

a. Indirect inguinal hernias are the most common form of hernia
b. Femoral hernias are the least common form and are more common in women
c. Direct inguinal hernias are more common in men over age 40
d. Indirect inguinal hernias originate above the inguinal ligament near its midpoint
e. All of the above

A

e. All of the above
• Indirect inguinal hernias are the most common form of hernia
• Femoral hernias are the least common form and are more common in women
• Direct inguinal hernias are more common in men over age 40
• Indirect inguinal hernias originate above the inguinal ligament near its midpoint

Q

Does a testicular tumor usually affect one or both testicles? Does it cause pain?
