To our knowledge both cases represent the first report of conservative surgery for these lesions in children. In 1 case the diagnosis of a simple intratesticular cyst was made by ultrasound. This patient was followed conservatively until enlargement resulted in excision of the cyst with preservation of the gonad. In the other case the diagnosis was made intraoperatively and simple excision of the lesion with testicular sparing was performed. High resolution real-time ultrasound should be performed routinely for all suspected testicular masses in children. Benign testicular tumors are more common than in adults and ultrasound may permit identification of lesions that can be excised locally with testicular preservation. Should the diagnosis of a simple, small intratesticular cyst be made by ultrasound regular followup may be appropriate. Should enlargement occur surgical excision can be done with the possibility of gonadal preservation. © 1988 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited BySHUKLA A, WOODARD C, CARR M, HUFF D, CANNING D, ZDERIC S, KOLON T and SNYDER H (2018) Experience With Testis Sparing Surgery for Testicular TeratomaJournal of Urology, VOL. 171, NO. 1, (161-163), Online publication date: 1-Jan-2004.METCALFE P, FARIVAR-MOHSENI H, FARHAT W, McLORIE G, KHOURY A and BÄGLI D (2018) Pediatric Testicular Tumors: Contemporary Incidence and Efficacy of Testicular Preserving SurgeryJournal of Urology, VOL. 170, NO. 6, (2412-2416), Online publication date: 1-Dec-2003.GARRETT J, CARTWRIGHT P, SNOW B and COFFIN C (2018) CYSTIC TESTICULAR LESIONS IN THE PEDIATRIC POPULATIONJournal of Urology, VOL. 163, NO. 3, (928-936), Online publication date: 1-Mar-2000.Grunert R, Van Every M and Uehling D (2018) Bilateral Epidermoid Cysts of the TesticleJournal of Urology, VOL. 147, NO. 6, (1599-1601), Online publication date: 1-Jun-1992.Rushton H, Belman A, Sesterhenn I, Patterson K and Mostofi K (2018) Testicular Sparing Surgery for Prepubertal Teratoma of the Testis: A Clinical and Pathological StudyJournal of Urology, VOL. 144, NO. 3, (726-730), Online publication date: 1-Sep-1990.Dmochowski R, Rudy D, Weitzner S and Corriere J (2018) Simple Cyst of the TestisJournal of Urology, VOL. 142, NO. 4, (1078-1081), Online publication date: 1-Oct-1989.
