Sudden pain with rapidly scrotal enlargement, relieved by elevation of the scrotum is most likely to be caused by:
spermatocele
testicular torsion
hydrocele
acute epididymitis
testicular neoplasm

acute epididymitis!
elevation of the scrotum is the key.
if pain get worse, it's testicular torsion.
if pain get relieved like this patient, it's epididymitis.
hydrocele doesn't accompany pain.
am i right?
