The differential diagnosis of testicular pain is broad and involves conditions from benign to life threatening. The most common causes of pain in children presenting to the emergency room are testicular torsion (16%), torsion of a testicular appendage (46%), and epididymitis (35%). In adults the most common cause is epididymitis.
