ABSTRACT
The testicular tumors are uncommon tumors occurring in the young adult [75% being diagnosed between 20 and 40 years]. Germ cell tumors represent 90% of all testicular tumors. The pathological study of extended orchidectomies specimen allows to differentiate between the seminomatous and non seminomatous germ cell tumors, criterion considered in the therapeutical management, and to select the main histoprognostic features for the post operative management of the testicular tumors, especially the non seminomatous germ cell ones. This pathologic study of 30 testicular tumors seen at Ibn Sina Hospital from 1984 to 1993 was conducted in this way. 84% of germ cell tumors, of which 43% being typical seminomas were found to be present. The non germ cell tumors represented 10% of the cases. The testicular primitive malignant lymphomas were encountered in two cases [6%]. Based on the literature data, the authors discuss here the anatomoclinical and histoprognostic features of these tumors

O cisto epidermóide é uma lesäo benigna responsável por aproximadamente 1 por cento de todos os tumores testiculares. Ele näo pode ser diferenciado de outros tumores testiculares com base unicamente em aspectos clínicos. Apresentamos um caso de cisto epidermóide e fazemos uma breve revisäo da literatura mundial sobre o assunto
