OBJECTIVE: To report two cases of epidermoid cyst of the testis, with special reference to the diagnostic and therapeutic aspects, and to review the literature. METHODS: Two cases of epidermoid cyst of the testis are presented: one patient consulted for testicular swelling and the other for supraclavicular lymphadenopathy. RESULTS: In both cases the pathological diagnosis was testicular epidermoid cyst. CONCLUSIONS: Testicular epidermoid cysts are uncommon. High frequency ultrasonography is a reliable diagnostic imaging method. Treatment by tumor enucleation with preservation of the testis is advocated, when possible.
