AI Article Synopsis
- Epidermal cysts are slow-growing cysts found mostly in hair-bearing areas, often diagnosed in people during their 20s to 40s.
- A unique case involved a patient with a large testicular epidermal cyst that was undetected until old age and fully replaced the right testis.
- The cyst was diagnosed using ultrasound and MRI, leading to successful surgical removal with no recurrence observed in a 24-month follow-up.
Article Abstract
Epidermal cysts are commonly encountered, slow-growing superficial cysts in the hair-bearing areas of the body, and are usually discovered in the second and fourth decades of life. These cysts tend to be superficial, meaning that they can be easily found by ultrasound and digital palpation at a moderate degree of growth. However, we found a huge testicular cyst that went undetected until old age. In this report, we describe the interesting case of a patient in whom the right testis was totally replaced with an epidermal cyst. The cyst was found by ultrasonography and further evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging. We performed orchiectomy under the impression of an epidermal cyst. The pathologic report confirmed this clinical impression. Over 24 months of follow-up, we did not find any recurrence of a growing mass on the testis.

Determining the differential diagnosis of small scalp cysts identified on a fetus is difficult. In particular, many physicians have difficulty differentiating small meningoceles from small scalp cysts during the prenatal period. Volume contrast imaging increases contrast between tissues, thereby allowing an enhanced view of target structures.
