Is there such a thing as a BENIGN testicular tumor or cyst?

Answer 1

Yes there are. According to this website:
http://tcrc.acor.org/tcprimer.html

"Benign tumors are not cancer. They do not spread to other parts of the body and are seldom a threat to life. Benign tumors can often be removed by surgery, and they are not likely to return. Some tumors of the testicle are benign, but most are not."

According to this website: http://www.drrajmd.com/conditions/testicles/scrotal_mass.htm
"Epidermal cysts, hydroceles, and spermatoceles are benign lesions. They are important only if they bother the person because of size or pain.

Epidermal cysts,....can be removed with a simple operation on the scrotum. This procedure can be done on an outpatient basis in a same day surgery center."

"A total of 80-90% of all testicular masses are malignant germ cell tumors. Benign testicular lesions are recognized in approximately 10-20% of cases."(http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=13696533)
