Testicular Epidermoid Cyst: Case Report and Literature Review
Journal Title: Journal of Urology & Nephrology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Testicular epidermoid cysts are extremely uncommon. They are considered as benign tumors. Although an inguinal orchiectomy is the standard procedure for testicular tumors, if the presence of an epidermoid cyst is suspected, a conservative treatment may be attempted. Case Presentation: We report here the case of a testicular epidermoid cyst in a 28-year-old man, who consulted for infertility. Physical examination shows the presence of a hard swelling on the left testicle surface, suggesting the presence of a mass. Enucleation was performed and no tumor recurrence was observed during the 6 months of follow-up. Conclusion: Thus, we will expose, through this observation and the literature, the clinicopathological characteristics of this rare testicular tumor and the different therapeutic aspects. This work has been reported in line with the SCARE criteria [1].
