Bilateral epidermoid cysts of the testicle.
An 11-year-old boy presented with bilateral testicular masses that consisted of hyperechoic centers with hypoechoic rims on ultrasound. Surgical exploration revealed bilateral epidermoid cysts. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of bilateral epidermoid cysts in a child. Recognition of this entity requires surgical confirmation but it may obviate removal of the testicle.
