AB  - The majority of solid testicular tumors are treated with
orchiectomy given the high risk of malignancy. We
present a case of a testicular mass in an adult patient in
the setting of recent hand, foot, and mouth disease that
was managed conservatively with serial ultrasounds. Even though cases of viral-associated testicular masses
are rare, this differential diagnosis should be considered
in patients with a new testicular mass in the setting of
recent viral infection and negative tumor markers. For
these patients, observation may be an option instead of
immediate orchiectomy.
