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 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.
