Abstract:
Inguinal cord cysts are found in less than 1% of inguinal hernia dissections. They are benign masses anatomically distinct from scrotal hydroceles that frequently mimic incarcerations or may have unusual tissue components; therefore it is recommended that they be removed when encountered to prevent future symptoms. Five cases of male inguinal cord cysts treated by the same surgeon are reviewed.
