[Epidermoid cysts of the testis].
Two cases of epidermoid cysts are described. Benign tumours of the testis are rare pathology entities accounting for less than 1-3% of all testicular tumours. Epidermoid cysts of the testis are included in this group of tumours and this pathology is most common in young adults. 85% of these cases, reported in the literature, are treated with an orchiectomy. The Authors describe an orchiectomy in an adult and a simple enucleation of the cyst in a young man; in the end the Authors draw their conclusion.
