Abstract
Epidermoid cysts account for% 1 to% 2 of all orchiectomy masses and tend to occur as palpable solitary masses like testis tumors. These are benign lesions without malignant potential and conservative management such as testis sparing surgery is generally preferred over orchiectomy if possible. No cases of local recurrence or metastases have been reported. Here in we report a 26 years old man which came to our clinic with a painless right testicular mass. Color doppler ultrasonography demonstrated a large right testis with 2 round parenchymal lesions. Serum testicular germ cell tumor markers were normal. Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated 2 lymph nodes at the peripancreatic and paraaortic regions. Right inguinal orchiectomy was done and the pathologic examination revealed as epidermoid cyst. Patient was discharged from the hospital without any complication and no additional therapy was recommended. At the first year of follow up, there was no problem with the patient and intraabdominal lymph nodes were revealed as the same

Abstract
Epidermoid kistler orşiektomi materyallerinin%1 ile% 2’sini oluşturmakta ve testis tümörleri gibi soliter kitleler olarak palpe edilmektedirler. Bunlar selim lezyonlar olup testis koruyucu yaklaşım gibi konservatif tedavilerin eğer mümkünse orşiektomiye tercih edilmesi gereken durumlardır. Bugüne kadar lokal nüks veya metastaz bildirilmemiştir. Burada kliniğimize ağrısız sağ testiküler kitle ile başvuran 26 yaşında bir erkek hastayı sunmaktayız. Renklidoppler ultrasonografide 2 yuvarlak parankimal lezyonun eşlik ettiği büyük bir testis saptanmıştır. Serum testiküler germ hücre tümör belirteçleri normal olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Batın tomografisinde peripankreatik ve paraaortik alanda 2 adet lenf nodu saptanmıştır. Hastaya sağ inguinal orşiektomi yapılmış ve patolojik değerlendirmesi epidermoid kist olarak gelmiştir. Sorunsuz biçimde taburcu edilen hastaya ek tedavi önerilmemiştir. Birinci yılın sonunda yapılan değerlendirmede hasta ile ilgili problem saptanmamış, batın içindeki lenf nodlarının da aynı kaldığı görülmüştür
