title: [Epidermoid cyst of the scrotum: a case report].
abstract: A 52-year-old male visited our department for a painless swelling from the right side of the anus to the right scrotum that he first noticed 5 years earlier. Palpation revealed a small fist-sized elastic solid mass with a smooth surface from the central area to the inferior pole of the right scrotum. This mass was clearly demarcated from the contents of the scrotum and not adherent to the scrotal skin. A diagnosis of a tumorous lesion in the scrotum was made, and the tumor was resected. Histopathological examination demonstrated a scrotal epidermoid cyst. To our knowledge, this is the 17th case reported in Japan.
