Abstract

Although teratomas are the most common tumors in the testes of prepubertal children, prenatally detected testicular teratomas are extremely rare. To date, only 6 cases of prenatally detected testicular teratomas have been reported in the English literature. An intra-abdominal mass and an ipsilateral undescended testis were confirmed after birth in all 6 cases. Preservation of testicular tissue was not performed in any case. Herein, we report the first case of prenatally diagnosed intrascrotal testicular teratoma in an infant who underwent testis sparing surgery.<br /> (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
