[An intrascrotal epidermoid cyst: apropos a case]

Area of Science:

• Dermatology
• Urology
• Surgical Pathology

Background:

• Epidermoid cysts are benign cutaneous neoplasms that can occur in various body locations.
• Scrotal epidermoid cysts are exceptionally rare, with limited documented cases in medical literature.
• Understanding the presentation and management of rare scrotal pathologies is crucial for urologists and dermatologists.

Observation:

• A case of a simple epidermoid cyst located in the scrotum is described.
• The cyst was completely removed via a transcrotal approach.
• Histopathological examination definitively confirmed the diagnosis of epidermoid cyst.

Findings:

• The histopathological analysis confirmed the presence of a simple epidermoid cyst.
• Complete transcrotal excision was the chosen and effective treatment modality.
• This case adds to the scarce reported instances of scrotal epidermoid cysts.

Implications:

• Simple excision appears to be an adequate and curative treatment for scrotal epidermoid cysts.
• The rarity of this condition underscores the importance of accurate histopathological diagnosis.
• Further follow-up is ongoing to ensure no recurrence of this rare scrotal lesion.
