ABSTRACT
Testicular epidermoid cysts are relatively rare, accounting for about 1% of all testicular tumors, and are often treated by high orchiectomy. We describe here the case of a testicular epidermoid cyst treated by testicle-sparing surgery due to a preoperative diagnosis. A 23-year-old man complained of a painless mass in the right scrotum. Physical examination revealed a firm little fingertip-sized smooth-surfaced mass in the right testis. Ultrasonography showed a hypoechoic lesion with an echogenic rim in the right testis. A T2-weighted magnetic resonance image showed a well-demarcated mass with a low signal outline. On the basis of a preoperative diagnosis of epidermoid cyst, intraoperative testicular frozen section was performed, and the mass was resected surgically while preserving the testis.
