Article information
Se describe un caso de teratoma quístico maduro testicular en un varón de 28 meses de edad. Debidoa sus características a la palpación y su eventual transiluminación, puede ser confundido con unhidrocele. Aunque se considera una rara lesión benigna, sobre todo en niños menores de 2 años, sedebe descartar siempre la presencia de células inmaduras en el estudio histológico.Mediante abordaje inguinal, se practicó orquiectomía izquierda al no existir un límite claro de separaciónentre el tumor y el resto del parénquima testicular. El estudio histológico confirmó la benignidadde la lesión y la coexistencia de un coristoma adrenal situado en la cabeza del epidídimo. Evoluciónpost-operatoria favorable.

We report a case of mature testicular cystic teratoma in a 28-month old boy. Due to the characteristicsof the palpation and its partial transillumination, it may be confused with a hydrocele. They emphasizeon the rarity and benign nature of the peculiarities and refer to its prognosis, usually benign,when is diagnosed at about 2 years of age, providing that a very carefull examination of the histologicalsections rules out the presence of anaplastic cells. A left inguinal orchiectomy was performedbecause it was not possible to establish a line of clevage between the tumor and the normal tissue.The pathologic examination revealed a benign lesion. An adrenal choristoma in the caput epididymiswas also observed. Postoperative course was satisfactory.
