Calcified epidermoid cyst in the testis: an unusual finding on ultrasound.

A K Taghizadeh1, D C Howlett.   

Abstract

Epidermoid cysts of the testis are uncommon, benign testicular tumours. They are often seen on ultrasound as rounded, hypoechoic lesions due to high keratin contents. Calcification within epidermoid cysts is rare. We report a case of prominent calcifications within an epidermoid cyst. If a possible epidermoid cyst is identified with ultrasound, testis-sparing surgery should be considered.
