Case report: multiple epidermoid cysts of the testes--the ultrasound appearances.
Epidermoid cysts are uncommon tumours of the testes representing approximately 1% of all testicular tumours. Their importance lies in the fact that they are completely benign and can be treated by local excision, thereby saving the patient an orchidectomy. We describe a case in which the patient had multiple epidermoid cysts involving both testes and faced possible bilateral orchidectomy.
