چکیده
Figure 1 a. Longitudinal US image of the right testis show a bilobulated mass in the upper medial aspect of the testis. The mass had sharp margins, composed of a central echogenic area and of alternating hyperechogenic and hypoechogenic rings in the periphery (onionskin sign), measuring 2.4 x 1.7 x 1.7 cm. b. Longitudinal Doppler-US image of the right testis demonstrates the absence of vascularization of the mass. Ultrasound (US) revealed a solid mass in the upper pole of the right testis that was well circumscribed, avascular, and displayed the onionskin appearance suggestive of testicular epidermoid cyst (1,2) (Figure-1). Magnetic resonance (MR) confirmed the well-circumscribed intra-testicular mass with a

Epidermoid cyst is a rare benign tumor, which accounts for 1-2% of all testicular tumors (1). It can be cured by organ preserving surgery. We experienced a case of pathologically confirmed testicular epidermoid cyst, which showed typical onion ring appearance on ultrasonography (US) and high signal intensity with internal alternating low signal intensity patterns on T2-weighted magnetic resonan...
متن کاملCase report of a testicular epidermoid cyst and review of its typical sonographic features.
A case of testicular epidermoid cyst, demonstrating multiple characteristic sonographic patterns in a single lesion, is presented with a brief review of the distinctive ultrasound features. It is important to remember that the sonographic patterns describing testicular epidermoids represent the varied amounts and arrangements of keratin of a particular lesion. A given lesion may demonstrate sub...
متن کاملEpidermoid Cyst of the Testicle
We describe the case of a 13-year-old boy with testicular epidermoid cyst who presented with a painless testicular mass. Epidermoid cyst of the testis is a benign, non-teratomatous tumor. It is often possible to make the diagnosis preoperatively, combining typical sonographic features with normal biochemical tumor markers. Preoperative diagnosis will allow for testis-sparing surgery and prevent...

Epidermoid cyst in the spinal cord is a rare condition. It constitutes of only 0.6-1.1% of all spinal tumors. When they occur, the typical location is in the subdural, extramedullary space of the lumbo-sacral region.We report a forty-two -year-old female who presented with left extremity radicular pain and myelopathy. MRI of the thoracic spine,illustrated a focal fusiform enlargement of the tho...
متن کاملTesticular epidermoid cyst--is pre-operative diagnosis possible?
A case of testicular epidermoid cyst which had initially been misdiagnosed as a malignant testicular tumour is presented. The role of clinical and ultrasound examination in the pre-operative assessment is discussed. Although the benign nature of this condition must be demonstrated histologically before conservative surgery is contemplated, it is equally important that the patient should not be ...
