Abstract:
Epidermoid cysts of the testicle are rare, benign lesions that are clinically indistinguishable from malignant germ cell tumors. A scrotal mass in a 27-year-old man was incidentally detected by his family physician, and confirmed to be intratesticular by ultrasound. Radical orchidectomy was performed revealing the pathologic diagnosis. The presentation, evaluation and management of epidermoid cysts are discussed.
