It is hard to diagnose the small lump on
the testicle without a physical
examination (palpation). It could be a
rudimental development that remains, so
called an "appendices testis" or
"appendices epididimidis". To follow up,
you can visit your GP (general
practitioner). S/He can refer you to an
urologist if necessary.
