Case Rep Oncol. 2016 Apr 21;9(1):235-40. doi: 10.1159/000445826. eCollection 2016 Jan-Apr.

Abstract

A 66-year-old male was referred to our hospital for further examination of a scrotal mass. Because of the risk of testicular cancer, we first clamped the vessels as a course of higher orchiectomy. Then, we approached the tumor through the scrotum and successfully resected it while preserving the testis. A histopathological diagnosis revealed an epidermal cyst. We herein report a rare case of an intrascrotal epidermal cyst successfully treated while preserving the testis.

Keywords: Epidermal cyst; Epidermoid cyst; Scrotum; Scrotum mass.
