What should be done if varicocele is suspected to be a hamartoma?

Patient's question:

Today, I had an ultrasound to carefully examine varicocele, and it was found that there was a suspected hamartoma of 190110mm. Then, the left kidney was ectopic (in the posterior middle abdomen). It is recommended to have a CT scan for a thorough examination. I was so worried.

Doctor's answer:

Hemangioma is generally a benign tumor. Further careful examination of plain and enhanced CT or MRI scans is needed to preliminarily confirm the nature of the tumor. After comprehensive evaluation, the appropriate further treatment plan should be selected.
Kidney ectopia is mostly congenital and generally does not interfere with kidney function. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while paying attention to personal hygiene.
