Solution

The most likely diagnosis for the 60-year-old man with a 2-year history of a left scrotal mass, occasional intermittent mild pain in his left scrotum, and a non-transilluminating mass posterior to his left testicle is a Spermatocele. This is supported by the scrotal ultrasound showing hypoechoic cysts that measure 4 cm in diameter associated with the left epididymis. Spermatoceles are benign cysts that occur on the epididymis, the small, coiled tube located on the upper testicle that collects and transports sperm. They are filled with sperm that are no longer alive, and they can cause discomfort but usually don't require treatment.
