Epidermoid cysts are tumors and that rarely occur in intrascrotal extratesticular tissues. It is extremely rare for the tumors to penetrate the penile corpora cavernosa.
We encountered a 4-year-old and a 6-year-old boy with intrascrotal tumors that penetrated the penile corpora cavernosa. Both the patients underwent tumor resection. In the former case, some of the tumor within the corpora cavernosa was left behind, while in the latter case, the tumor was completely resected. Pathological examination in both cases confirmed the diagnosis of epidermoid cysts.
We should consider the possibility of epidermoid cysts in children presenting with intrascrotal tumors. Moreover, care should be taken when handling the corpora cavernosa during surgery.
表皮样囊肿是一种肿瘤,很少发生于阴囊内睾丸外组织。肿瘤穿透阴茎海绵体极为罕见。
我们遇到了两名患有穿透阴茎海绵体的阴囊内肿瘤的男孩,分别为4岁和6岁。两名患者均接受了肿瘤切除术。在前一例中,海绵体内的部分肿瘤残留,而在后一例中,肿瘤被完全切除。两例病例的病理检查均确诊为表皮样囊肿。
对于出现阴囊内肿瘤的儿童,应考虑表皮样囊肿的可能性。此外,手术过程中处理海绵体时应谨慎。
