Testiste epidermoid kist

Testisin epidermoid kistleri tüm testis tümörlerinin % 1-2’sini oluşturan benign ve nadir lezyonlardır. Dermoid kistlerden veya teratomlardan ayırt edilmesi gerekir. Özellikle, malign potansiyeli nedeniyle teratomdan ayırımı daha fazla önemlidir. Onyedi yaşında testiste epidermoid kist olgusu sunulmuş, etyolojisi, tanı ve tedavi seçenekleri literatür eşliğinde tartışılmıştır.

Epidermoid cyst of testis

Epidermoid cysts of testis are benign and rare lesions, comprising about 1-2 % of all testis tumors. They must be distinguished from dermoid cysts or teratomas. Particularly, the distinction from teratoma is much more important because of their malignant potential. A 17-year-old patient with epidermoid cyst in the testis is presented, and the etiology, diagnosis and treatment strategies are discussed in the light of literature.
