 ==Overview==
+Common physical examination findings of testicular cancer include [[weight loss]], [[swelling]] of the testicle , and a painless [[mass]] in the [[testicle]].
 ==Physical Examination==
-The cardinal diagnostic finding in the patient with testis cancer is a mass in the substance of the testis. Unilateral enlargement of the testis with or without pain in the adolescent or young adult male should raise concern for testis cancer.
+===Appearance of the Patient===
+* [[Weight loss]]
-The differential diagnosis of [[testicular cancer]] requires examining the [[histology]] of tissue obtained from an [[orchiectomy]] specimen. Orchiectomy, rather than transcrotal biopsy, is preferred to reduce the risk of '''spill''' and thus the risk of [[metastasis]], in the event that the tumor is [[malignant]].  For orchiectomy, an inguinal surgical approach is preferred.
+===Neck===
+* [[Lymphadenopathy]]
+===Lungs===
+* Shortness of breath
+* [[Hemoptysis]]
+* Chest pain
+===Genitourinary===
+* [[Swelling]] of the testicle
+* Painless [[mass]] in the [[testicle]]
