Abstract
Background: Sebaceous cysts are common benign encapsulated lesions originating from the pilosebaceous unit and filled with keratin material . However, their occurrence on the scrotum is relatively rare and may cause diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 35-year-old male who presented to the hospital with chief complaints of a painful scrotal nodules evolving over 6 months. Clinical examination revealed a well-circumscribed, mobile, non-tender cystic lesion on the scrotal skin. Surgical excision was performed, and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a sebaceous cyst. Conclusion: Sebaceous cysts of the scrotum are uncommon but benign lesions. Complete surgical excision remains the treatment of choice to prevent recurrence and complications.
