Abstract

Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) is an autosomal-dominant condition that often involves cystic changes within many organs, including the epididymis. However, no previous report of a patient with VHL and a benign intratesticular cyst has been published. We report on a 28-year-old man with otherwise stable VHL who presented with a symptomatic 3-cm intratesticular benign cyst. The cyst was successfully treated by partial orchiectomy.
