[Cystic displasia of the testis. Review of literature].
OBJECTIVE
Review this pathology nowadays.


METHODS
We search in Medline/PubMed database for reviews about cystic dysplasia of the testis. We review and discuss the relevant literature about it.


RESULTS
Cystic dysplasia of the testis (CDT) is a rare benign disease, associated with upper urinary tract malformations. Its most frequent clinical manifestation is the increase of testicular size; the presence of cysts is demonstrated by ultrasound. No consensus exists in its treatment, it oftenly requires histological confirmation, performing testicle-sparing surgery.


CONCLUSIONS
CDT needs to be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of childhood testicular tumors.
