Although some authors question the validity of the diagnosis of dermoid cyst of the testis, it does seem to be identical to tumors seen in the ovary and is distinct from a mature teratoma of the testis. Previous cases have described variants of the "classical" dermoid cyst, including noncutaneous teratomatous elements: bone, cartilage, respiratory epithelium, intestinal mucosa. We describe a unique case demonstrating a testicular dermoid cyst containing mature neural tissue, which has previously not been described in an adult. It has been suggested that these tumors are persistent prepubertal teratomas that are known to behave in a benign manner.
尽管有些作者对睾丸皮样囊肿的诊断有效性提出了质疑，但它似乎与卵巢中所见的肿瘤相同，并且与睾丸成熟畸胎瘤不同。以前的病例描述了“经典”皮样囊肿的变体，包括非皮肤性的畸胎瘤成分：骨、软骨、呼吸上皮、肠黏膜。我们描述了一个独特的病例，展示了一个含有成熟神经组织的睾丸皮样囊肿，这在成人中以前没有描述过。有人认为这些肿瘤是持续存在的青春期前畸胎瘤，已知它们表现为良性。
