Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Parasitology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Testicular tumors are a concern in pediatric patients.
  • Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease prevalent in endemic areas.

Observation:

  • A 13-year-old Nigerian boy presented with a testicular mass.
  • The clinical presentation simulated a testicular malignancy.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with testicular schistosomiasis.
  • Intraoperative frozen section examination was crucial for diagnosis.

Implications:

  • Schistosomiasis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of testicular tumors in endemic regions.
  • Frozen section examination during surgery can aid in organ preservation.
