**Case Study: Evaluation of Scrotal Swelling in a Teenage Athlete**A 16-year-old high school student presents for a routine sports physical. During the examination, a hernia check reveals that the right scrotum is significantly larger than the left. The patient reports no pain, tenderness, fever, night sweats, or weight loss. Upon palpation, a fluid-filled mass is detected in the scrotum, and the examiner can move their fingers above the mass.**Clinical Question:** Which physical exam test would help narrow in a differential diagnosis?**Answer Choices:**- **A:** Repeat the scrotal exam with the patient supine.- **B:** Testing for the absence of cremasteric reflex on the right side.- **C:** Patient coughs with your finger in the external inguinal ring.- **D:** Transillumination of the right scrotum.This scenario provides a critical thinking opportunity for determining appropriate diagnostic tests to clarify the nature of the scrotal swelling.
