Simple intratesticular cyst: A rare finding amenable to testis-sparing surgery
Journal Title: Pediatric Urology Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Simple intratesticular cysts (SIC) are rare in infancy. There is a paucity of data with regards to management. Concern for malignancy often prompts the pediatric urologist to perform a radical orchiectomy which may impact endocrine function and fertility potential later in life. Recently, there has been a movement towards testis-sparing surgery for SIC. Herein, we describe a case of a 7-month-old infant who presented to pediatric urology clinic with left intraparenchymal SIC that was treated with a testis-sparing approach. In summary, this case report supports the use of testis-sparing surgery for management of preoperatively well-defined SIC.
