Zusammenfassung:Scrotum's sebaceous cyst is an usual pathology, not life threatening, but susceptible of infection, producing abscess with their associated cosmetic and psychological disturbance. The classical management is the complete excision, under local anaesthesia, to prevent its recidive.

We report a case of a young man with several scrotum's sebaceous cysts, treated successfully with the use of a Nd-YAG laser.
