Red lump on stomach, pain in testicles. Can it be cancer?
Patient: Hello my name is frank I'm 23 years old. I have a red/purple lump on my stomach. Sticks out almost as big as a marble. It's like discolored with red and purple. Doesn't hurt at all. I can't really think of any side effects what's so ever. Maybe that when I sit down and drive for too long I have pain in my testicles but I'm have no idea if its due to the lump. I've had this lump for so long I'm just scared to see a doctor I'm afraid of what they might say. Like cancer or anything serious. Like I said its red and purple about the size of a marble. Any IDE what this could be? Doesn't hurt at all if I touch it or push it. It's been about 3 year I think I've had it. Thank you very much! Doctor: Hi and welcome to HCM. If this is there for 3 years thenit wont be malignant. It sounds to mi like haemangioma or any other subcutaneous lesion such as lipoma,fibroma or cyst.It can be surgically removed.   Pain in testicles shouldnt be related to it.It can result from hernia or infection including STD. You can do ultrasounds of both to evaluate the exact diagnosis. WIsh you good health.
