title: Simple testicular cyst in the neonate.
abstract: The authors report the first case of a simple testicular cyst presenting in a neonate. Diagnostic criteria are outlined and theories concerning etiology are discussed. The authors show an absence of elastin staining in the specimen, and suggest this precludes germinal tubules as a source. The rationale for testicular-sparing surgery is discussed.
