title: A case of epidermoid cyst of the testis role of conservative surgery.
abstract: We report one case of an epidermoid cyst of the testis in a 15 year-old boy. Pre-operative testicular ultrasound may help to establish the diagnosis without resorting to orchiectomy. In such a selected case local excision alone should be considered adequate without violating accepted surgical principles.
