Epidermoid cyst arising from the spermatic cord area.
OBJECTIVE
We report on an epidermoid cyst arising from the spermatic cord area that was confirmed histologically after local excision.


RESULTS
Radiologic studies demonstrated a well-encapsulated solid mass in the left inguinal region, which was adjacent to the left spermatic cord. Tumor resection was then performed. Pathological examination revealed a epidermoid cyst lined with keratinized squamous epithelium.


CONCLUSIONS
There was no recurrence observed 5 years after surgery.
