We report a case of dermoid cyst of the right testis. An 85year-old man was admitted to our hospital with an enlarged right testicle and a high prostate specific antigen (PSA) level. A hard testis of approximately 10 cm, with a smooth surface, was palpated. On digital rectal examination, a hard prostate of approximately 4 cm, with irregular surface, was palpated. We performed right inguinal orchiectomy and transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate needle biopsy. The wall of the testis was calcified, with a cyst that contained yellow-white sebaceous material and tufts of hair. Microscopically, the cyst wall showed calcification and ossification, and had hair roots. The diagnosis was dermoid cyst. We also found a well differentiated adenocarcinoma (Gleason 2-3) in the prostate. Dermoid cyst of the testis is very rare. To our knowledge, this case is in the oldest patient thus far reported.

“…Dermoid cysts are less common than epidermoid cysts, with only scattered case reports in the urology literature. [5][6][7] When dermoid cyst contains predominantly ectodermal derivatives, it needs to be differentiated from epidermoid cyst that contains only stratified squamous epithelial lining with luminal lamellar keratin without the presence of adnexe unlike that of dermoid cyst. [8] In all reported cases of testicular dermoid cysts, local excision, enucleation, or orchiectomy have been curative, with no patient developing a metastatic germ cell tumor.…”

Dermoid cyst is a mature-type teratoma containing sebaceous material and predominantly tufts of hair or teeth along with skin appendages. It is most commonly observed in the ovary but is rare in the testis, and only a few cases have been reported so far. In most of the reports, the cyst tended to be diagnosed in a younger age group. Here, we report a dermoid cyst of the testis in a 72-year-old man.

“…Since then, testicular dermoid cysts have been reported with increased frequency in adults. In the pediatric age group only 5 cases have been reported, the youngest patient being a 1-year-old boy [25][26][27][28][29], Whether these scant data are due to the rarity of the condition or whether some cases have been included in the larger group of teratoma [25] and therefore remain undetected in a literature review is at present unclear [29].…”
