title: [Testicular epidermoid cyst: A rare entity].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Testicular epidermoid cyst is a rare clinical entity that accounts for 1% of testicular neoplasias.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We report two cases of testicular epidermoid cysts in a 18 and 19 year old males with a painless testicular lesion. Testicular US was carried out showing a hypoechoic nodule in both cases. With the suspicion of testicular neoplasm inguinal orchiectomy was carried out with placement of testicular prostheses in the same act. The pathology report was testicular epidermoid cyst in both cases.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Testicular epidermoid cysts are an uncommon benign entity. When there is a suspicion of this diagnosis, based on tumor markers and ultrasound or MRI images, testicular parenchyma-sparing surgery must be attempted.
