Epidermoid cyst of the testis in an adolescent: Case report and review of the evolution of the surgical management.

Epidermoid cyst, a tumorlike lesion, is a rare benign testicular tumor with typical, distinctive ultrasonographic appearance. When the preoperative features are highly suggestive of epidermoid cyst, testicular sparing surgery after strict oncologic guidelines is warranted. The authors report a case of a preoperatively suspected epidermoid cyst in an adolescent and review the literature concerning the changing paradigm of management. Copyright 2002 by W.B.
