title: [Testicular epidermoid cyst. Report of 2 clinical cases and review of the literature].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report two cases of epidermoid cyst of the testis, with special reference to the diagnostic and therapeutic aspects, and to review the literature.
  
  
  METHODS
  Two cases of epidermoid cyst of the testis are presented: one patient consulted for testicular swelling and the other for supraclavicular lymphadenopathy.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In both cases the pathological diagnosis was testicular epidermoid cyst.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Testicular epidermoid cysts are uncommon. High frequency ultrasonography is a reliable diagnostic imaging method. Treatment by tumor enucleation with preservation of the testis is advocated, when possible.
