Abstract
- A 24-year-old man visited our hospital with painless scrotal mass 2 weeks in duration. Physical examination revealed about 3cm in diameter, ovoid, hard, movable and painless mass in the left side of the scrotum. He had no history of trauma, voiding difficulty or infection sign. CBC, blood chemistry and tumor marker were normal. Left orchiectomy was done. Tumor was a well encapsulated white-gray ovoid mass filled with yellowish gray material and histogically diagnosed as epidermoid cyst. Benign tumors of testis are rare, acounting for less than 1% of all testicular tumors. Herein we report a case of epidermoid cyst of testis and review the literatures.
