[Epidermoid cyst of the the testis. Six cases (author's transl)]

Epidermoid cyst of the testis is a benign tumour. It is not rare since between 1971 and 1980, 6 were found amongst 54 tumours of the testicule in the Rennes Regional Hospital Centre. The lesion is asymptomatic, causing neither lymphadenopathy nor any laboratory abnormalities. It can be differentiated from a malihgnant tumour only by histopathological examination and treatment may be summarised as orchidectomy.
