Introduction:
Testicular tumors are tumors that may be benign or malignant, and they most commonly affect men in their early to middle ages.
Early diagnosis and appropriate surgical treatment are key to maintaining patient health and ensuring a cure.
In most cases, orchiectomy is recommended as the first step in treating malignant tumors, with close medical follow-up to ensure complete tumor removal.
