| Popis: |
To define the clinical criteria and complementary investigation results allowing conservative surgery for epidermoid cysts of the testis.16 patients with epidermoid cyst were managed in our department. Assessment of each patient included clinical examination, tumour marker assay and imaging (scrotal ultrasound in 16 cases and MRI in 2 cases). All patients were operated via an inguinal incision with primary clamping of the cord. No patient was lost to follow-up.Tumourectomy was performed in 3 patients after frozen section histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of epidermoid cyst. No disease progression was observed with a mean follow-up of 57 months (range: 3 to 108 months).Conservative surgery for epidermoid cyst is possible on the basis of precise criteria: typical ultrasound (or MRI) image, size less than 2 centimetres, normal tumour marker assays, frozen section histological examination confirming the diagnosis. |
