Testicular periphery - small, persistent masses that do not change in size - have had them for a number of +years.

Does testicular cancer present ON the testicle itself rather than in the peripheral tissues? I have a small granule within each side of my scrotum. Each one is about the size of an uncooked rice grain. They are motile, not directly on each testicle. The one on the right side seems smaller and a bit harder than the other. The one on the left seems to be the periphery, in or near the epididymal tissue. I have noticed the one on the right for about 10 years. The one on the left may have been present as long, but I have never noticed it, until over a year ago. They do not change in size, shape, or texture. I have heard of epididymal cysts, but from what I have seen online, those are rather large and fluid-filled. Should I be concerned?

Hi, From your description, it appears that the lesions are present on the scrotal skin rather than on the testis. Since they are very small and have remained unchanged for many years, there seems no reason to be concerned about them. In all probability they could be some skin tags which is entirely normal. All the best

They are not external. They are inside the scrotum but NOT in contact with either testis.
