We describe the clinical and pathologic findings in three cases of cystic dysplasia of the testis and compare our findings to others in the English literature. The condition is characterized by dilatation of the rete testis with or without similarly affected adjacent structures. It is important to recognize this lesion for two reasons. First, it is associated with a high frequency of ipsilateral renal anomalies. Second, it is important to consider this condition in the differential diagnosis of cystic testicular mass in a neonate or a child. The management of this condition is quite different from the management of other testicular masses such as a hydrocele, testicular germ cell tumor, or infiltrative disorder (e.g., lymphoma, inflammation, torsion, or hematoma). Testicular cystic dysplasia is benign and the lesion can be removed surgically, leaving the rest of the testis intact. A discussion of the lesion's possible pathogenesis is also presented.
我们描述了三例睾丸囊性发育异常的临床和病理表现，并将我们的发现与英文文献中的其他发现进行了比较。该病症的特征是睾丸网扩张，可伴有或不伴有相邻结构的类似病变。认识到这种病变很重要，原因有两个。第一，它与同侧肾脏异常的高发生率相关。第二，在新生儿或儿童睾丸囊性肿块的鉴别诊断中考虑这种病症很重要。这种病症的治疗与其他睾丸肿块（如鞘膜积液、睾丸生殖细胞肿瘤或浸润性疾病，如淋巴瘤、炎症、扭转或血肿）的治疗有很大不同。睾丸囊性发育异常是良性的，病变可通过手术切除，而睾丸的其余部分保持完整。本文还讨论了该病变可能的发病机制。
