An 18 year old man comes for an examination prior to participation in school sports. He states that he has a dull ache in scrotum since being hit in that area during basket ball game 2 months ago. Examination showed 2 cm hard non tender mass in right testicle. The mass does not transilluminate or change in size when patient is placed in supine position. Which of the is the most likely cause ?

a- Cystic dilation of efferent ductules
b- Dilated pampiniform venous plexus
c- Fluid accumulation within tunica vaginalis
d- Germinal cell tumor
e- Vascular trauma

i actually not sure of the answer ,, i was between vascular injury and tumor ,, but i looked up the internet to differentiate between them and i guess if it was hematoma it will be painful but the PAINLESS that go more with tumor ,, actually when i saw the Q for first time i got it wrong but it doesn't matter as we still studying not exam :)
