To assess the clinical effect and outcomes of partial orchiectomy (PO) in the management of testicular benign tumor.

The clinical data of 16 patients with benign testicular tumors who underwent partial orchiectomy in our hospital from December 2013 to July 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The basic data, operation time and hospital stay of the patients were recorded. Tumor markers, pathology and complications were analyzed, and the clinical characteristics of testicular cystic and solid lesions were compared.

There were 11 cases of testicular cystic lesions, including 5 cases of testicular epidermoid cyst and 6 cases of testicular cyst. There were 5 cases of testicular solid lesions, including 2 cases of teratoma, 1 case of testicular stromal cell tumor, 1 case of heterotopic ossification and 1 case of tuberculous granuloma. The maximum diameter of testicular cystic lesions was significantly larger than that of testicular solid lesions (P=0.011). There were no significant differences in age, disease duration, operation time and tumor markers between patients with testicular cystic lesions and solid lesions (all P>0.05). During the follow-up of (40.5±28.8) months, no complications such as testicular epididymitis, urinary tract infection and wound infection occurred.

The pathological types of testicular benign tumors are various. Generally, the sizes of testicular cystic lesions are larger than testicular solid lesions. PO is a technically feasible, safe, and effective treatment method for testicular benign tumor.
