[Intrascrotal epidermal cyst: a case report]

A 37-year-old male visited our hospital complaining of right scrotal mass formation. An elastic hard, fist-size mass was found in the right scrotum. Under the diagnosis of an intrascrotal benign tumor, the mass was removed. The tumor had no relation to the testis or epididymis. The surgical specimen weighted 220 g and measured 13 x 8 x 8 cm in size. Histopathological diagnosis was epidermal cyst of the intrascrotum. Epidermal cyst of the intrascrotum is a rare disease and only 13 cases have been previously reported in Japan.
