DIAGNOSIS Epidermoid inclusion cyst of the scrotum DISCUSSION Epidermoid inclusion cysts are benign tumors that occur after implantation of epidermal tissue into the dermis or subcutis, which may result either from trauma or abnormal embryologic closure of the median raphe and the urethral groove.
In this condition, the urethral meatus exits proximal to the glans penis as a result of failure of the urethral fold to unite over and cover the urethral groove during the first trimester of embryonal development (2).
