Epidermoid Cysts of the Testicle: Sonographic and MR Imaging Features
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study is to analyze the appearance of testicular epidermoid cysts on high-resolution sonography and MR imaging and correlate imaging features with histopathologic findings.
CONCLUSION. Intratesticular epidemıoid cysts may show imaging features that correlate with their histopathologic findings. Concentric rings of alternating hypo- [...]

Summary: Chemical analysis of the contents of a so-called bright epidermoid of the posterior fossa with unusual CT and MR imaging characteristics suggested that [...]
Discussion: There are congenital and acquired epidermoid cysts. Congenital type is a non-neoplastic inclusion of ectoderm during neural tube closure or formation of secondary cerebral vesicles. Acquired type is implanted epidermis, usually by nonstylet needle punctures (as in lumbar puncture). Grossly, it is a well-defined lobulated cystic lesion, which insinuates along CSF cisterns.
