Abstract

Background: Testicular lesions most frequently present as palpable testicular masses. Interestingly, the identification of impalpable small testicular masses in patients with male factor infertility is occurring increasingly frequently, most probably due to the widespread use of testicular ultrasonography. In this study, we aim to provide insight into the likelihood of small incidentally found testicular masses and the recommended primary management. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study of 2680 infertile men with evidence of testicular lesion
