[A case of infant testicular tumor diagnosed ultrasonographically in the prenatal period].
We report a case of testicular tumor detected by ultrasonography during the prenatal period. Ultrasonography performed at 32 weeks of gestation showed that one testis was larger than the other. The right testis was markedly enlarged at 38 weeks of gestation. The heterogeneous echo pattern of the right testis suggested a testicular tumor. Right high orchiectomy was performed 3 months after birth. Pathological findings of the tumor were teratoma with mature and immature components according to the histological classification of testicular tumor. In Japan, this is the second case diagnosed in the prenatal period using ultrasonography.
