Abstract

Cystic dysplasia of the rete testis is a benign tumor of the testis, which occurs most frequently in pediatric age and is often accompanied by renal anomalies. It is necessary to differentiate this condition from malignant testicular tumors. Different approaches, such as orchiectomy, testis-sparing surgery, or conservative follow-up, can be utilized in treatment. Herein, we reported a five-year-old patient with cystic dysplasia of the rete testis who was admitted with scrotal pain and underwent orchiectomy.
