title: The radionuclide scintigraphic appearance in a rare case of epidermoid cyst of the testis.
abstract: A rare case of epidermoid cyst of the testis, represented scintigraphically by an area of avascularity in the affected testicle, is described. The differential diagnosis from epididymitis and torsion of testis, and the diagnostic value fo the scintigraphic method to rule out malignant (vascular) testicular tumors, is emphasized.
