Abstract
ObjectiveTo evaluate the utility of findings on ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the preoperative diagnosis of testicular epidermoid cysts (TEC). MethodsThe medical records of five patients treated for TEC at our institution between July 2010 and May 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. ResultsImaging revealed a target or onion skin appearance on ultrasonography and MRI. Pathological examinations showed “bread slag-like” materials within the TEC. Lesions failed to demonstrate enhancement after Gd-DTPA injection. ConclusionIn the cases of TEC in the current study, accurate diagnosis ensured enucleation of the testicular cyst was performed rather than testicular resection.
