Dermoid cyst of testis in five-year-old-child.
We report the case of a five-year-old child who had a hard painless left testis discovered on a routine physical examination. He underwent a left inguinal orchiectomy, and the pathology examination revealed a dermoid cyst of the testis. This is a rare tumor, considering the low incidence of testicular tumors in childhood. Histologic criteria and surgical management are also presented. We believe this report is the first well-documented case.
