ABSTRACT
Objective The role of testis-sparing surgery in children with benign testicular tumors were emphasized by this retrospective survey. Methods Sixteen patients who undergo testis-sparing surgery between the years 1996 to 2003 were reviewed. Intraoperative frozen section histopathology had been done in all of patients. The period of follow-up ranged from 6 months to 7 years. Results In our series, as well as in the literature there was no differenle between frozen section and definitive histology.Ten cases were teratomas, 4 cases were epidermoid cysts and 2 cases were mucus cysts.Follow-up of 6 months to 7 years has shown no recurrence,and on examination,testicular volume is normal in all cases.Conclusion Testis-sparing surgery is a positive method in the management of benign testicular tumors in children.It preserves testicular volume,which is important for both cosmetic and functional roles.
