RESUMEN
Epidermal inclusion cyst is a benign lesion that can originate in all parts of the human body. However, the penile location is quite rare. We reported a 24-years old man with a painless, soft, progressive-growing mass at the distal part of the penis with a history of ectopic undescended testis. Complete resection was performed, and further histopathologic study revealed an epidermal inclusion cyst of the penis. This report would like to present a rare case of a penile epidermal inclusion cyst mimicking an ectopic testis mass at our institution.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Polyorchidism is a rare condition with a total number of approximately 190 cases. Malignancy was found in 6,4% of cases. CASE PRESENTATION: A 57 years old man came with a sudden and persistent painful mass in right inguinal region. The patient decided to undergo surgery with diagnosis of incarserated lateral hernia inguinal and obtained a testicular-like lump in the right inguinal canal, then the patient underwent orchiectomy. Histopathological examination revealed a soft tissue tumor with microscopic characteristic of seminoma. CT-Scan revealed metastasis to lung and liver. CONCLUSION: Attention must be given to detect malignancy in polyorchidism.
