My son is 8.6 years cronological and 13 years bone age.  He is a nonsw but on florinef.

I think boys should be checked for this every 6 months with a ultra sound (it is better from what I have read so far than an MRI).

I am not sure what exams the girls have, but every 3 months Charlie has his testicles and penis measured.  So not all are palpable.

I don’t know if it can be removed, that is another question I have for the doctors.  Also why doesn’t it get biopsied?  What if it’s not Arenal Rest Tissue?  And I have just read that there are a few reported cases in the USA that is was malignant.  I don’t want my son to be in the "few" group.
