Abstract in English

Background: Epidermoid cyst is a rare benign tumor of the testis. High-resolution ultrasonography and normal α-fetoproteine level enable to recognize this pathology in order to spare the testis by organpreserving surgery. Case report: We present the case of a 12-year-old boy with painless mass in the slightly enlarged right testis. Ultrasonography revealed typical appearance of epidermoid cyst. Results: Doubtless diagnosis based on ultrasonography and low α-fetoproteine level allowed testissparing surgery instead of orchidectomy. Recognition of this rare tumor is particularly significant for prepuberty boys as it allows maintaining full procreation ability and does not compromise endocrinological functions during adolescence.
