title: [Testicular schistosomiasis].
abstract: A case of testicular schistosomiasis, simulating malignancy, in a 13 year old Nigerian boy is reported. In patients from endemic areas with testicular tumors, this differential diagnosis should be borne in mind. At operation, a freezemicroscopic examination should be done to save the testicle, if possible, as in this case.
