Testicular sparing surgery for bilateral epidermoid cysts of the testes: a case report.
We report the case of a 12-year-old boy with bilateral epidermoid cysts of the testes diagnosed preoperatively from ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and negative tumor markers. The cysts were treated using bilateral testicular sparing surgery through a scrotal approach after intraoperative frozen section. We also discuss the diagnosis and management of epidermoid cyst of the testis and briefly review the literature.
