title: Extratesticular epidermoid cyst with extension into the pelvis.
abstract: We report a case of simple epidermoid cyst of the scrotum with extension into the pelvis. Complete excision was performed transcrotally and the presence of epidermoid cyst confirmed by histopathological examination. Simple excision was sufficient for treatment of this very rare lesion. The patient is now in the follow-up period.
