Testicular cystic dysplasia: evaluation of 3 new cases treated without surgery
No full textPURPOSE: We describe 3 cases of testicular cystic dysplasia that were diagnosed only by sonography to avoid an invasive approach.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three patients 5, 8 and 12 years old, respectively, had increased testicular volume and/or intermittent pain. Sonographic examination of the testis by high frequency (7.5 mHz.) probes showed the typical onset of testicular cystic dysplasia, characterized by several small focal or diffuse intraparenchymal cystic formations.
RESULTS: Biopsy or orchiectomy was not considered. At 16, 18 and 24 months of followup, respectively, testicular pain was absent in our 3 cases and sonographic findings were unchanged.
CONCLUSIONS: Clinical and sonographic followup is considered sufficient to evaluate possible changes in the clinical course of this pathological condition which, although benign, still remains to be defined

No full textFanconi anemia (FA) is an autosomal recessive inherited syndrome characterized by congenital abnormalities, aplastic anemia, and a high likelihood of developing cancer. We describe a child who presented with 2 synchronous solid tumors (Wilms tumor and neuroblastoma), later found to have FA, who developed severe toxicity and died after a first cycle of chemotherapy. Our experience emphasizes that a predisposing genetic condition should be sought in cases of multiple tumors and that managing FA patients with cancer can be particularly difficul
