Abstract

A 28-year-old man was referred to Gunma University Hospital for his hard nodule in his left testis. Ultrasonography showed hyperechoic mass with irregular margin. Serum tumor marker levels were within normal limit. Calcified element of mature teratoma or burned-out tumor was suspected. Left inguinal orchiectomy specimen showed epidermoid cyst of the testis with calcified capsule. We reported this case with some discussion on the treatment of epidermoid cyst of the testis.
