title: Cystic dysplasia of the testis associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis and high anorectal anomalies.
abstract: Scrotal masses in young children are often caused by hydrocoeles and hernias. When they arise from the testis, testicular tumor or orchitis, although rare in this age group, is often the diagnosis. Cystic dysplasia of the testis, a rare condition frequently associated with renal anomalies, is another possible differential diagnosis. Herein the authors describe a case in which cystic dysplasia of the testis is associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis as well as high anorectal anomalies.
