Abstract
|
|
|
We report a case of testicular tunica albuginea cyst with psammoma body which was
treated with excision and testicular preservation. The presumptive diagnosis of a simple
intratesticular cyst was made by ultrasound. The intraoperative pathological diagnosis
was benign serous cyst and then simple excision of the lesion with testicular
preservation was performed. High resolution real-time ultrasound should be peformed
routinely for all suspected testicular masses, and it may permit identification of lesions
that can be excised locally with testicular preservation. To our knowledge tunica
albuginea cyst with psammoma body, a characteristic histological finding, has not been
reported. Its histogenesis was also discussed.
