D29: Benign neoplasm of male genital organs
D29.2: Benign neoplasm: Testis
When there is abnormal growth of tissue in an organ, then this is referred to as a tumor. The tissue in the body is made up of cells. A tumor disorder involves the cells multiplying more than normal. This results in abnormal or excess tissue forming. A tumor can be benign or malignant. Benign tumors do not destroy the healthy tissue and do not spread throughout the body.
The testicles are located outside the body, and are covered by skin. That is the scrotum.The testicles create male sex hormones. An example of a male sex hormone is testosterone.
The tumor may cause you to experience pain in the testicle. The male sex hormones may be changed. The tumor can cause the testicles to be larger or harder than they normally are. Sometimes you can also have no symptoms at all.
