Testicular epidermoid cysts are a rare cause of testicular pathology. No cases of recurrence or metastasis have been reported in the literature. As a result, inguinal partial orchiectomy with frozen section has recently become standard treatment. A 43-year-old male presented with right testicular discomfort and the presence of mass. Right inguinal partial orchiectomy with frozen section was performed, and the right testicle was preserved. The final pathology report confirmed the diagnosis of an epidermoid cyst. The importance of accurate diagnosis of this benign lesion is crucial for the prevention of unnecessary radical orchiectomy.
睾丸表皮样囊肿是睾丸病变的罕见原因。文献中未报道过复发或转移的病例。因此,带冰冻切片的腹股沟部分睾丸切除术近来已成为标准治疗方法。一名43岁男性因右侧睾丸不适及肿物就诊。实施了带冰冻切片的右侧腹股沟部分睾丸切除术,右侧睾丸得以保留。最终病理报告确诊为表皮样囊肿。准确诊断这种良性病变对于预防不必要的根治性睾丸切除术至关重要。
