title: [Scrotal pain and/or enlargement: initial diagnostic and therapeutic management by the general practitioner].
abstract: Although the issue is specifically urologic, scrotal pain and/or enlargement is not an exception at the general practitioner's outpatient clinic. Besides testicular torsion, usually managed in an emergency division setting, there are four frequent diagnoses: testicular tumor, orchi-epididimytis, hydrocele or spermatocele, so as varicocele. The purpose of this article is to provide an update and allow to easily identify serious or frequent scrotal pathologies in primary care medecine.
