Özet
Epidermoid cysts, which constitute 1% of all testicular tumors, are considered to be benign even though histogenesis is not clear. Patients usually suffer from painless scrotal mass or this mass is realized during the routine physical examination. Hematospermia may be a finding for both benign and malignant testicular tumors. Many authors advocate the testicular sparing surgery in the treatment but epidermoid cysts are usually treated with radical inguinal orchiectomy, because of the difficulties in the diagnosis, concurrence of the malignant tumors, and the debate on the histogenesis.
