Abstract
Cystic dysplasia of the rete testis (CDT) is a rare, benign, cause of testicular mass in the pediatric population. The mass appears on sonography as multiple small cysts of varying size surrounded by normal or compressed testicular tissue. CDT is often associated with other genitourinary anomalies, commonly presenting with agenesis or dysplasia of the ipsilateral kidney. The pathophysiology and the management remains controversial. We report a case of a 3-year-old presenting with an enlarged testicular mass later presumed to be CDT associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis, review the literature, and propose an evaluation and management algorithm.
