Zusammenfassung:	Epidermoid cyst of the testis is a benign, non-teratomatous tumour. It is often possible to make the diagnosis pre-operatively, combining typical sonographic features with normal biochemical tumour markers.

An 11-year-old boy with testicular epidermoid cyst who presented with pain in testis was presented in this report.
