Prepubertal Testicular Teratomas and Epidermoid Cysts: Comparison of Clinical and Sonographic Features
Conclusions—
Testicular masses in children younger than 8 months with AFP levels higher than 23 ng/mL and size larger than 2.5 cm need to be considered for orchiectomy rather than testis-sparing tumorectomy because of the increased frequency of immature teratomas versus mature teratomas or epidermoid cysts.
