Abstract

Introduction: testicular neoplasia is uncommon, and epidermoid cysts are a rare benign lesion. Testis-sparing surgery should be performed upon preoperative diagnosis. Case report: 31-year-old man with a painless nodule in the left testicle. Ultrasonography revealed a 3.2cm nodule with irregular margins and signs of flow on Doppler. Tumor markers were normal. A left radical orchiectomy was performed, and the histological sections showed findings compatible with an epidermoid cyst. Final considerations: improvements in imaging exams will help with diagnostic accuracy to provide less aggressive treatment for this type of injury.
