OBJECTIVE: This study aims to examine the clinical characteristics and surgical management of pediatric testicular epidermoid cysts, thereby contributing to the existing body of knowledge pertinent to the diagnosis and therapeutic intervention s for this condition.
METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical records of 23 pediatric patients diagnosed with testicular epidermoid cysts, who were admitted to our institution between April 2013 and February 2024. Concurrently, a comprehensive review and analysis of pertinent literature were undertaken to augment the findings.
RESULTS: The mean age at which the onset of epidermoid cysts was observed was 6.0 years. All cases were singular and unilateral. B-ultrasound diagnosis categorized 6 cases as epidermoid cysts, 11 as teratomas, and 6 as indeterminate, yielding a diagnostic sensitivity of 26.1%. All patients underwent testicle-sparing mass resection, and nine patients underwent rapid intraoperative frozen section analysis, revealing eight cases of testicular epidermoid cysts and one teratoma, with a diagnostic sensitivity of 88.89%. Postoperative histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of testicular epidermoid cyst.
CONCLUSIONS: Pediatric testicular epidermoid cysts are an uncommon occurrence, primarily presenting as a painless scrotal mass, which can mimic the clinical features of malignant testicular tumors. Imaging modalities and histopathological assessment are pivotal in the diagnostic process for pediatric testicular epidermoid cysts. For cases where B-ultrasound is inconclusive, rapid intraoperative pathological examination should be considered.
