title: Benign testicular tumors.
abstract: Testicular tumor is considered rare in Oriental people and benign testicular tumor has never been reported from this area. From 1969 to 1985 70 cases of intratesticular tumors were treated at Tri-Service General Hospital. 12 of them were benign in nature including 8 epidermoid cysts, 1 cavernous hemangioma, 1 foreign body granuloma with pseudocyst, 1 Sertoli cell tumor and 1 intratesticular simple cyst. A testis-sparing procedure was performed for 5 epidermoid cysts, the Sertoli cell tumor and the simple intratesticular cyst. The tumors were excised completely and the testes were preserved after careful and thorough frozen section pathological studies. One of the epidermoid cysts and the case of simple testicular cyst were diagnosed correctly before surgery by using scrotal ultrasound.
