Ruptured extratesticular epidermal inclusion cyst mimicking polyorchidism with torsion on sonography

The sonographic appearance of epidermal inclusion cysts varies in accordance with the contents of the cyst, ranging from an anechoic lesion to a hyperechoic solid appearing mass.

Description
Summary:The sonographic appearance of epidermal inclusion cysts varies in accordance with the contents of the cyst, ranging from an anechoic lesion to a hyperechoic solid appearing mass. Supernumerary testes are an uncommon congenital abnormality, in which more than two testes are present. We present a rare case of a ruptured scrotal extratesticular epidermal inclusion cyst, which had the sonographic appearance of a supernumerary testicle with torsion.
