Epidermoid cysts are rare. They represent the most common benign tumor of the testis. The sonographic appearances of testicular epidermoid cysts usually include avascular, mostly lamellated, heterogeneous internal echotexture, with hypoechoic and hyperechoic concentric rings, accounting for the typical onion-ring appearance. On MRI, epidermoid cysts show a low-signal-intensity center, with internal concentric rings of alternating high- and low-signal intensity on T2-weighted images, which correlates with the onion-ring appearance. We report a patient with testicular epidermoid cyst with atypical ultrasound and MRI appearances that led to the erroneous initial diagnosis of "burned-out" tumor. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Purpose: We sought to evaluate the incidence, natural history, and management of cystic spinal lesions following myelomeningocele/myeloschisis closure.

Article Synopsis
- Ranulas are commonly thought to be sublingual cysts in children, but in this case, a 13-year-old boy was found to have a rare dermoid cyst instead, which is less than 0.01% of oral lesions.
- The boy presented with significant symptoms including swelling under the tongue, speech issues, and difficulty eating, prompting surgical excision of the cyst.
- The case emphasizes the need for accurate diagnosis through histopathology and imaging techniques, as dermoid cysts can be mistaken for ranulas.
