We report a five-month-old boy who was referred to the hospital with a presumptive diagnosis of hydrocele of the cord. Ultrasonography revealed a cystic mass within the left testis. A complete removal of the cystic mass was done. Histopathological diagnosis was simple cyst of the testis. This rare lesion should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic testicular lesions in infancy. The treatment of choice is simple enucleation of the cyst with sparing of the testis and related structures. Keywords : Testis, infancy, simple cyst, immunohistochemistry
