[Testicular teratoma and epididymal adrenal choristoma].

We report a case of mature testicular cystic teratoma in a 28-month old boy. Due to the characteristics of the palpation and its partial transillumination, it may be confused with a hydrocele. They emphasize on 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 careful examination of the histological sections rules out the presence of anaplastic cells. A left inguinal orchiectomy was performed because it was not possible to establish a line of cleavage between the tumor and the normal tissue. The pathologic examination revealed a benign lesion. An adrenal choristoma in the caput epididymis was also observed. Postoperative course was satisfactory.
