Purpose: We report on an epidermoid cyst arising from the spermatic cord area that was confirmed histologically after local excision.Methods/Results: Radiologic studies demonstrated a well‐encapsulated solid mass in the left inguinal region, which was adjacent to the left spermatic cord. Tumor resection was then performed. Pathological examination revealed a epidermoid cyst lined with keratinized squamous epithelium.Conclusion: There was no recurrence observed 5 years after surgery.
