“…9 Three other case reports in the literature exhibited scrotal extratesticular epidermoid cysts extending in to the pelvis, but no attachments to the seminal vesicles were mentioned. 3,8 To our knowledge, this is the first case in the English literature. Extratesticular epidermoid cysts, if they are palpable, cannot be hidden as is the case with cysts in intratesticular locations.…”

“…Scrotal and extratesticular epidermoid cysts, as was the case in our patient, are very rare; the number of cases published in the English literature is less than 10. 1,3,[7][8][9] In our case scrotal epidermoid cyst was also attached to the anterior aspect of the seminal vesicles in the midline. There is only one reported case of a dermoid cyst arising from the posterior aspect of the prostate and seminal vesicles, but the cyst was in the pelvis masquerading as a full bladder.…”

E244 research researchCite as: Can Urol Assoc J 2013;7:E244-7. http://dx.doi.org/10.5489/cuaj.546 AbstractA 46-year-old man was admitted with a scrotal long standing painless mass. The workup included physical examination, alpha-fetoprotein (αFP) and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) analyses, scrotal ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging and urethrocystoscopy. Surgical exploration revealed a separate mass between the testes extending superiorly with a thin stalk. It was dissected easily to the anterior aspect of the seminal vesicles and removed from the junction to the seminal vesicles. Pathology reported an epidermoid cyst. To our knowledge this is the first case of a scrotal extratesticular epidermoid cyst attached to the seminal vesicles.

“…8,9 Additional rare reports include patients with extratesticular epidermoid cysts and an epidermoid cyst of the penis, each with extension to the pelvis. 10,11 Epidermoid cysts of the buttock are rare. [12][13][14] Three such occurrences have been reported in male patients ages 39, 75, and 79 years, respectively.…”

“…[8][9][10][11] In 2 separately reported cases, pelvic masses were detected after the finding of extrates- ticular scrotal epidermoid cysts in 8-and 9-yearold boys, respectively. Similar to our case, the precise etiologies in these cases were unknown yet were considered to probably represent monolayer teratomas of germ cell origin.…”

erm cell tumors are most commonly located within the gonads.1 Rare extragonadal locations of these tumors include the retroperitoneum, mediastinum, sacrococcygeum, and central nervous system and are considered to result from aberrant migration of germ cells from the yolk sac during fetal development. [1][2][3][4] We present transvaginal sonographic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of a massive epidermoid cyst extending from the pelvis to the buttock. Case ReportA 28-year-old woman, para 1, presented with gluteal pain exacerbated during sitting and walking. Other than endometriosis confirmed by laparoscopy after secondary dysmenorrhea 7 years before her current presentation, her history was unremarkable. On physical examination, the patient was in no acute distress. Vital signs were normal, and her abdomen was soft and nontender. Pelvic examination disclosed a normal-sized uterus and adnexa. A symmetric soft pelvic mass approximately 6 cm in diameter was noted posterior to the uterus. A large cystic mass measuring approximately 10 cm in diameter bulging into the medial aspect of the right buttock was noted.Transvaginal sonography depicted a retroverted uterus with normal ovaries (the right containing a hemorrhagic cyst). A large heterogeneous mass located posterior to the uterus was noted (Figures 1 and 2). The patient was offered yet declined sonography of the right buttock. Magnetic resonance imaging delineated a pelvic mass with a large extrapelvic extension protruding to the medial aspect of the right buttock (Figure 3).
