Testicular simple cyst and teratoma: asynchronous bilateral occurrence within the first year of life

Urology. 1999 Aug;54(2):366. doi: 10.1016/s0090-4295(99)00059-x.

Abstract

Benign and malignant testicular tumors are rare in infancy. Moreover, only a few cases of bilateral testicular tumors in children have been reported to date. To our knowledge, we report the first case of an asynchronous bilateral simple testicular cyst and testicular teratoma in an infant. This case demonstrates that although both lesions are benign in the prepubertal child, treatment decisions should be made carefully.
