title: Epidermoid cysts of testis.
abstract: Two cases of epidermoid cyst of testis are reported. The histogenesis is discussed, together with the histogenesis of identical cysts of the ovary and the spleen, and, for the gonadal lesions, a teratoid origin is considered the most likely developmental derivation. The prognosis is excellent after limited excision or orchidectomy.
