title: Testicular dermoid cyst in a 10-year-old child: case report and discussion of etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment.
abstract: The case of testicular dermoid cyst in a 10-year-old boy who presented for evaluation of a presumed testicular neoplasm is reported. The dermoid cyst was confirmed histologically on frozen section and local excision was performed. Only 5 cases of testicular dermoid cysts in children have been reported so far. We discuss the etiopathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment.
