Testicular epidermoid cyst: A rare case
نویسندگان
چکیده
Testicular epidermoid cysts are a rare cause of testicular pathology. No cases of recurrence or metastasis have been reported in the literature. As a result, inguinal partial orchiectomy with frozen section has recently become standard treatment. A 43-year-old male presented with right testicular discomfort and the presence of mass. Right inguinal partial orchiectomy with frozen section was performed, and the right testicle was preserved. The final pathology report confirmed the diagnosis of an epidermoid cyst. The importance of accurate diagnosis of this benign lesion is crucial for the prevention of unnecessary radical orchiectomy.

We present two case reports of benign testicular epidermoid cysts, along with a review of the literature. This rare cause of intra-testicular swelling has often been treated by orchiectomy in the past. Evidence in the literature suggests a more conservative approach can be adopted safely, provided certain diagnostic criteria are observed. A 24-year-old man presented with a painless 2 cm nodule ...
