Abstract

Multiple epidermal cysts over the scrotum is a rare condition and requires surgical intervention if infected or cosmetically unacceptable.  Grossly enlarged cysts require complete excision, followed by scrotoplasty.  We are reporting a case of multiple epidermal cysts on the scrotum.  Complete excision of the cysts followed by scrotoplasty was done in this case.
