Clinical Challenge: A Rare Testicular Tumor

Abstract

We present the case of a 22-year-old male that comes to the Urology clinic with the incidental finding of a testicular mass. Typical findings in echography will guide us towards the diagnosis of an epidermoid cyst.^1,2 This type of infrequent benign tumor is responsible for only around 2% of all testicular tumors.¹ Because of this low incidence literature regarding epidermoid cysts is scarce. Treatment has been susceptible to change throughout the years.⁶ In this clinical case we challenge readers to review a rare tumor and to choose the most appropriate treatment for our patient.
