Painless solid testicular masses on ultrasonography are commonly malignant. However, if the lesion is well demarcated, rounded, and hypoechoic with alternating hyperechoic and hypoechoic layers, and no internal vascular flow, the possibility of an epidermoid cyst should be considered. Epidermoid cysts are uncommon benign testicular lesions and are extremely rare in the intrascrotal extratesticular region. Including these cysts in the differential diagnosis may allow the urologist to perform testis-sparing surgery.Teaching Point: The possibility of an epidermoid cyst should be considered when a scrotal mass shows an 'onion ring' appearance on sonography and no vascularity on Doppler.

“…Epidermoid cysts, also known as keratinocytes, are the most common benign testicular neoplasms, accounting for 1% of all testicular tumors 23 . A few case reports have described intrascrotal, extratesticular epidermoid cysts, which are even more rare than their intratesticular counterparts 32 . They are of germ cell origin and are composed of layers of keratin debris, which give rise to their characteristic sonographic appearance.…”

Understanding a variety of scrotal diseases is essential to developing an accurate differential diagnosis and is critical in providing optimal patient care. Ultrasound is the imaging modality of choice when evaluating for scrotal pathology, with the major purpose of locating such pathology to either the testis, or epididymis, or other intrascrotal structures, as well as characterizing lesions as solid or cystic. It is generally assumed that most solid intratesticular masses are more likely malignant, whereas most extratesticular ones are benign, although some exceptions to that rule exist. This pictorial essay will focus on rare and less commonly encountered benign and malignant testicular and paratesticular pathologies, which may pose a diagnostic dilemma for interpreting radiologists and treating physicians. Knowledge of their imaging characteristics will help narrow the differential diagnosis and assist in proper patient management and care.

“…Epidermoid cysts are reportedly common in the anal region and ovaries 1 . In urology, epidermoid cysts account for approximately 1% of all testicular tumors 2 . The origin of epidermoid cysts in the ovaries or testes remains unknown; however, they are believed to be monolayer teratomas arising from germ cells 2 .…”

IntroductionEpidermoid cysts are tumors and that rarely occur in intrascrotal extratesticular tissues. It is extremely rare for the tumors to penetrate the penile corpora cavernosa.Case presentationWe encountered a 4‐year‐old and a 6‐year‐old boy with intrascrotal tumors that penetrated the penile corpora cavernosa. Both the patients underwent tumor resection. In the former case, some of the tumor within the corpora cavernosa was left behind, while in the latter case, the tumor was completely resected. Pathological examination in both cases confirmed the diagnosis of epidermoid cysts.ConclusionWe should consider the possibility of epidermoid cysts in children presenting with intrascrotal tumors. Moreover, care should be taken when handling the corpora cavernosa during surgery.
