  • Title: Spermatic cord dermoid cyst as paratesticular mass. Case report and bibliographic review.
    Author: Skorniakov MS, Ramírez AC, Delgado MS, Durán AC, Bernal CS.
    Journal: Arch Esp Urol; 2011 Dec; 64(10):991-4. PubMed ID: 22228899.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Presentation of a new case of dermoid cyst of the spermatic cord and to perform a review of the literature. METHODS: We describe the case of a 48 year-old male who consulted because of reappearance of a mass in the left high scrotal area and inguinal zone. He was operated for left inguinal hernia two years before. RESULTS: Since physical examination and ultrasound were inconclusive, we performed a surgical exploration with complete excision of the mass. Intraoperartive pathologic analysis confirmed the benign nature of the mass so we did not proceed to radical orquiectomy. CONCLUSIONS: Among paratesticular tumors, benign in the majority of cases, dermoid cyst is a rare pathology of the spermatic cord that the clinician always has to take into account before making a decision when we treat the spermatic cord masses.
