Nadir bir testis tümörü: epidermoid kist

Abstract

Epidermoid kistler testisin en sık görülen benign tümörlerdir ve tüm testis tümörlerinin %1-2 kadarını oluştururlar. Çoğunlukla yaşamın ikinci ve dördüncü dekatları arasında ve hastanın kendisini muayenesi ya da hekim tarafından yapılan fizik muayene sırasında saptanırlar. Histolojik olarak epidermoid kistin dermoid kist ve teratomdan ayrımı önemlidir. Tedavide radikal orşiektomi ön planda olsa da özellikle çocuk hastalarda frozen inceleme ile beraber testis koruyucu cerrahi tedavi seçenekleri arasında düşünülmelidir. Bu yazıda on yedi yaşında testiküler epidermoid kist tanısı alan bir hasta sunulmuş, tedavi seçenekleri tartışılmıştır

A rare testicular tumor: epidermoid cyst

Abstract

Epidermoid cysts are the most common benign tumors of the testis, but constitute of only 1-2% of all testicular tumors. It is mostly seen between the second and fourth decades of life. They are usually diagnosed during patient selfexamination or physical examination performed by a physician. Histologically, distinction of epidermoid cyst and the dermoid cysts and teratomas is important. Main treatment is radical orchiectomy. But especially in pediatric patients testis-sparing surgery with frozen section analysis should be considered among the options. In this case report we present a seventeen years old patient who diagnosed of testicular epidermoid cyst and the treatment options are discussed
