Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a defect in the diaphragm through which intra-abdominal and retroperitoneal organs may pass. However, the presence of the testis in the thoracic cavity is rare. Here, we describe a case of left-sided Bochdalek CDH with herniation of the left testis through the defect into the thorax, which was managed successfully by primary orchiopexy.

Background:
Studying the incidence of cause of lung mass and differential diagnosis in adult cases was made, and value is finely known and exposed to all, but unfortunately such studies has not yet made on children especially in Iran.
Materials and Method:
Studying a six years survey (1997-2003) on operated cases files in Dr.Sheikh Hospital, 37 cases under went surgery for lung mass.
Results:
We found that hydatid cyst were 19 cases (51%); local empyema 6 cases (16%); lung abscess 4 cases (11%); congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (CCAM) 4 cases (11%); Pleuropulmonary blastoma 2 cases (5%); pulmonary sequestration 1 case (3%) and askin tumor 1 case (3%).
Discussion & Conclusion:
We realize that the chief cause for lung masses in children in this study are infection (hydatid cyst Empyema and abscess) and congenital and neoplastic diseases are rare in lung masses in children.
Considering the statistical information in Iran and developed countries, we witness the importance of epidemiological factor of this disease in our country.
