Abstract

A case of bilateral simple testicular cysts is reported. A 74-year-old male patient on hemodialysis was found to have bilateral simple testicular cysts on CT performed for screening of blood in stool and low abdominal pain. Because of characteristic ultrasonic findings of simple testicular cyst, such as hypoechoic cyst with regular wall and no echogenicity, negative tumor markers and negative for metastatic tumor, a diagnosis of simple testicular cyst was made, which was followed up without surgery. We reported the present case because including this case, there have only been a total of 24 reported cases of simple testicular cyst in Japan. The differential diagnosis between other cysts in testes is discussed.
