title: [Painless enlargement of the scrotum].
abstract: Painless swelling of the scrotum may be due either to an increase in bulk of the scrotal contents or to changes affecting the skin of the scrotum. The reliable and rapid differentiation of harmless from serious conditions such as cancer of the testicles, is essential.
