--- abstract: 'Intratesticular epidermoid cysts of the testis are rare benign lesions, comprising about 1-2% of all the testicular neoplasms. Clinically it may not be differentiated reliably from the most common malignant testicular tumours and poses a diagnostic dilemma. Majority of the testicular tumours are malignant one, hence accurate diagnosis in benign lesions such as epidermoid cyst is always warranted to avoid unnecessary invasive procedures like orchidectomy. Herein, we present a case of benign, intratesticular epidermoid cyst of the testis in a 30 years old male treated by conservative approach with testicular preservation, avoiding unnecessary orchidectomy.' altloc: - http://www.ojhas.org/issue49/2014-1-10.html chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: - ~ - drdhirajnikumbh@rediffmail.com - ~ - ~ - ~ creators_name: - family: Suryawanshi given: KH honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Nikumbh given: DB honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Mujawar given: P honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Pagare given: P honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Kanthikar given: SN honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2014-05-15 date_type: published datestamp: 2017-02-18 20:24:49 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/97/36 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: 0 edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: - Kakkilaya BS editors_name: - family: Kakkilaya given: Srinivas honourific: Dr lineage: '' eprint_status: archive eprintid: 9736 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/9736/1/2014-1-10.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: ~ item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: Epidermoid cyst; Testis; Testicular neoplasms lastmod: 2017-02-18 20:24:49 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: 1 pagerange: ~ pubdom: TRUE publication: Online Journal of Health and Allied Sciences publisher: Kakkilaya BS refereed: TRUE referencetext: "1.\tDieckmann KP, Loy V.
