After an extensive review of the literature, we believe this to be the first case description of the removal of a simple testicular cyst from an infant. The 1 1/2-month-old infant was admitted to the Department of Pediatric Surgery after the mother had noticed a swelling in the right testicle. The tentative clinical diagnosis by ultrasound was a cystic formation in the testis. Alpha-fetoprotein was normal. The intratesticular cyst was extirpated and sent for histologic examination. Preoperative imaging and diagnostic, therapeutic, and histopathologic aspects of this case are discussed. © 1993 Springer-Verlag.
