Teratoma of the testis in a pubertal child.
We report an adult benign teratoma of the testis in a 12-year-old boy, which, to our knowledge, is the first reported instance of such a tumor developing during puberty. After radical inguinal orchiectomy all pathological sections proved to be consistent with a benign adult teratoma. This child is being followed closely.
