title: Testicular schistosomiasis simulating malignancy. Case report.
abstract: A case is reported on a 13-year-old boy with schistosomiasis in his right testis, simulating a malignant tumor. The tumor was excised, and since freeze-microscopy showed granulomatosis without malignancy, the testis was saved. Schistosomiasis is shortly reviewed. It is emphasized, that testicular involvement is rare.
