“…In cases of suspected extension, magnetic resonance imaging is most useful for depicting the anatomical boundaries of the lesion. 4,8 To our knowledge, no cases of malignancy in cystic disease of the penis have been reported previously. 1 – 5,9 – 19 The indications for the treatment of cysts are secondary cystic infection, pain upon intercourse, cosmetic reasons, or obstruction of the urinary tract.…”

Penile cysts are uncommon. A case of a 7-year-old boy with an epidermoid cyst of the penis is reported. He had an asymptomatic, slowly growing soft mass in the frenulum of the penis. Excision of the mass was performed, and the diagnosis was epidermoid cyst of the penis. No recurrence has been noted within the year since excision. To our knowledge, there have been no previous reports of malignancy developing in cystic disease of the penis. In such cases, clinicians should attempt more appropriate management, involving either watchful observation or complete excision of the cyst, by considering the embryogenesis and nature of the disease.

“…[8][9][10][11] In 2 separately reported cases, pelvic masses were detected after the finding of extrates- ticular scrotal epidermoid cysts in 8-and 9-yearold boys, respectively. Similar to our case, the precise etiologies in these cases were unknown yet were considered to probably represent monolayer teratomas of germ cell origin.…”

“…8,9 Additional rare reports include patients with extratesticular epidermoid cysts and an epidermoid cyst of the penis, each with extension to the pelvis. 10,11 Epidermoid cysts of the buttock are rare. [12][13][14] Three such occurrences have been reported in male patients ages 39, 75, and 79 years, respectively.…”

erm cell tumors are most commonly located within the gonads.1 Rare extragonadal locations of these tumors include the retroperitoneum, mediastinum, sacrococcygeum, and central nervous system and are considered to result from aberrant migration of germ cells from the yolk sac during fetal development. [1][2][3][4] We present transvaginal sonographic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of a massive epidermoid cyst extending from the pelvis to the buttock. Case ReportA 28-year-old woman, para 1, presented with gluteal pain exacerbated during sitting and walking. Other than endometriosis confirmed by laparoscopy after secondary dysmenorrhea 7 years before her current presentation, her history was unremarkable. On physical examination, the patient was in no acute distress. Vital signs were normal, and her abdomen was soft and nontender. Pelvic examination disclosed a normal-sized uterus and adnexa. A symmetric soft pelvic mass approximately 6 cm in diameter was noted posterior to the uterus. A large cystic mass measuring approximately 10 cm in diameter bulging into the medial aspect of the right buttock was noted.Transvaginal sonography depicted a retroverted uterus with normal ovaries (the right containing a hemorrhagic cyst). A large heterogeneous mass located posterior to the uterus was noted (Figures 1 and 2). The patient was offered yet declined sonography of the right buttock. Magnetic resonance imaging delineated a pelvic mass with a large extrapelvic extension protruding to the medial aspect of the right buttock (Figure 3).

“…Clinically, epidermoid cysts appear as fi rm, oval or lobulated nodules of variable size located either on the dorsum of the penis or, less frequently, on the ventral aspect of the penile shaft (Rattan et al 1997). They are more often encountered in childhood, but can occur also in middle age and in the elderly.…”
