Chlamydia trachomatis disguised as an asymptomatic scrotal mass in adolescents

We present two cases of adolescents who presented with painless scrotal masses suggestive of testicular cancer. Diagnostic workup of both these patients revealed Chlamydia trachomatis and both patients were successfully treated with doxycycline. Both patients initially denied sexual activity. We suggest that a high index of suspicion is warranted in adolescent patients that present with asymptomatic scrotal masses and precise tests for C. trachomatis be done to rule out an infectious cause.
