Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Although some authors question the validity of the diagnosis of dermoid cyst of the testis, it does seem to be identical to tumors seen in the ovary and is distinct from a mature teratoma of the testis. Previous cases have described variants of the “classical” dermoid cyst, including noncutaneous teratomatous elements: bone, cartilage, respiratory epithelium, intestinal mucosa. We describe a unique case demonstrating a testicular dermoid cyst containing mature neural tissue, which has previously not been described in an adult. It has been suggested that these tumors are persistent prepubertal teratomas that are known to behave in a benign manner.
