Brief Answer:
More investigations required for diagnosis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

The duration of your symptom of having the mass for the last 40 years points to the fact that possibly the mass is a benign lesion.

If I were your doctor, I would after a physical examination of both the testes to see if you have got a normal testicular sensation ( sickening sensation/pain when the testis is pressed ), if it was a cystic or a solid swelling and a general physical examination with special attention to the abdomen, I would advise you for an ultrasound/Doppler ultrasound of both the testes to know the nature of the swelling, and to confirm its consistency.

Whether it was a cystic or a solid swelling, I am afraid that you might need a surgery for a definitive diagnosis by the way of an excision biopsy which could lead you to a cure as well. This would be possible only after a pre anaesthetic check up for you to see your physical fitness for the surgery. I would not advise you for a FNAC in this case.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems.

I wish you an early recovery.

Dr Shareef.
