Abstract
The authors report 3 cases of epidermoid cyst of the testis. Clinical, labo ratory and ultrasound data were relatively nonspecific. Precise histologica l criteria were defined by PRICE in 1969. The diagnosis is based on frozen section examination after transinguinal testicular exploration. The authors describe the most conservative therapeutic approach for a constantly benig n testicular tumour.
