Abstract
Epidermoid cysts are uncommon tumours of the testes representing appro ximately 1% of all testicular tumours. Their importance lies in the fa ct that they are completely benign and can be treated by local excisio n, thereby saving the patient an orchidectomy, We describe a case in w hich the patient had multiple epidermoid cysts involving both testes a nd faced possible bilateral orchidectomy.
