Abstract
We report on a 7-month-old boy with a simple cyst of the testis who wa s treated with excision and testicular preservation. Benign testicular tumors are more common in children than in adults (30%). Ultrasound m ay permit identification of benign testicular lesions. As simple cysts are isolated benign entities they may be treated by testis-sparing su rgery.
