Cystic dysplasia of the rete testis associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis: A case report

Abstract

Cystic dysplasia of the rete testis is a rare benign abnormality seen in the pediatric population. Diagnosed by scrotal ultrasonography, this lesion is often associated with congenital renal tract anomalies, most commonly ipsilateral renal agenesis or multicystic dysplastic kidney. Treatment traditionally involves orchiectomy or testicular sparing surgery; however, conservative treatment with surveillance has been used as an appropriate alternative. We present the case of a 5-year-old boy with cystic dysplasia of the rete testis with associated unilateral renal agenesis.
