Laboratory tests showed normal ranges, the sonographic studies described a tumor of low echogenicity in correspondence with the suspected tumor in the testicle; surgical removal and biopsy were performed (right orchiectomy with upper ligature of the cord); which resulted in a classic seminoma, currently asymptomatic.
