Abstract
Epidermoid cyst of the testis is a rare, benign intratesticular tumor in children. Four patients 4 to 15 years old with epidermoid cysts were managed by tumor excision with salvage of the testis. Preoperative ultrasound, tumor marker status and intraoperative findings were suggestive of a benign neoplasm. Under these circumstances epidermoid cysts may be safely treated by excision in prepubertal patients.
