“…Epidermoid cyst of the testis is a benign simple epithelial tumor and an uncommon lesion that accounts for about 1% of all testicular masses [1] [2]. Dockerty and Priestly first described testicular epidermoid cyst in 1942 [3].…”

Background: In this study, we aimed to share our experiences in patients with epidermoid cyst of the testis. We report the demographic and clinical characteristics and the long term results in patients with epidermoid cysts. Materials and Methods: Thirteen patients with epidermoid cyst of the testis treated between June 2000 and January 2018 were retrospectively evaluated. Ten patients with available data were included in the study. Patients' age, scrotal localization of symptoms, physical examination findings, serum tumor marker levels, pathology results and follow-up periods were recorded. Results: The current cohort consisted of 10 patients. The mean age at diagnosis was 29.7 years (range, 20 to 53 years). Eighty percent of the lesions were localized to the left hemiscrotum and 20% to the right hemiscrotum. One patient had a history of unilateral undescended testis. Serum tumor markers were normal in all patients. The mean scrotal mass lesion volume at diagnosis was 28 mm 3 (range, 13 to 51 mm 3). The mean follow-up period was 66.9 months (range, 12 to 216 months). Conclusions: Epidermoid cyst of the testis should be kept in mind, particularly in patients with lesions negative for tumor markers and radiological findings typical of epidermoid cysts. Annual follow-up is not required.

Lesión quística testicular en un lactante: consideraciones diagnósticas y terapéuticas

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introducción: Los tumores testiculares prepuberales suelen ser benignos. Las lesiones quísticas constituyen un amplio diagnóstico diferencial de las masas benignas escrotales en niños. Una adecuada evaluación incluye el examen clínico, la ecografía Doppler y la medición de marcadores tumorales. Ante una fuerte sospecha clínica y radiológica de benignidad, el tratamiento de elección es la enucleación con preservación del parénquima. Objetivo: Describir el caso de un lactante con una masa quística de testículo compatible con quiste epidermoide. Discutir los aspectos clínicos, imagenológicos y terapéuticos más relevantes de las lesiones testiculares prepuberales. Presentación del caso: Un lactante ingresa por identificación de una masa testicular circunscrita no dolorosa de 1 cm de diámetro. La ecografía demuestra un quiste simple intraparenquimatoso y los marcadores tumorales son negativos. Se realiza enucleación por vía escrotal, sin complicaciones. El estudio histopatológico es compatible con un quiste epidermoide. Hubo seguimiento a 3 años sin recidiva ni atrofia testicular. Discusión y conclusión: Teniendo en cuenta que la mayoría de los tumores prepuberales de testículo son benignos, la cirugía conservadora puede considerarse una alternativa terapéutica ante una lesión circunscrita, pequeña, avascular, con marcadores tumorales negativos.

“…The clinical manifestation is indistinguishable from that of the much more commoner malignant germ cell tumor, most of the patients are asymptomatic, with the mass being detected either at self-examination or during physical examination as a painless mass (5) . The origin of epidermoid cyst of the testis is controversial (3) , but they are considered as examples of monomorphic development of teratomas (2,6) . We report this case because it is rare and to the best of our knowledge it is the first case to be reported in Erbil, Kurdistan, Iraq.…”
