  		Fig. 1A. —11-year-old boy with right testicular epidermoid cyst that showed partially indistinct margin and lobulated contour on sonography. Sonogram shows heterogeneous solid-appearing lesion (arrows) surrounded by echolucent rim. Note that superior border (arrowheads) is partially indistinct.

  		Fig. 2A. —20-year-old man with left testicular epidermoid cyst that contained calcifications. Sonogram shows heterogeneous lesion (arrows) of laminated appearance. Several echogenic foci (arrowheads) with posterior sonic shadowing representing calcifications are seen.

  		Fig. 3A. —32-year-old man with right testicular epidermoid cyst that showed onionskin appearance on sonography. Color Doppler sonogram shows heterogeneous lesion (arrows) of onionskin appearance. Vascular flow signal is not noted.

  		Fig. 1B. —11-year-old boy with right testicular epidermoid cyst that showed partially indistinct margin and lobulated contour on sonography. T2-weighted MR image shows lobulated contour lesion of heterogeneous signal intensity intermixed with high, intermediate, and low signal intensities.

  		Fig. 2B. —20-year-old man with left testicular epidermoid cyst that contained calcifications. T2-weighted MR image shows heterogeneous lesion containing low-signal-intensity foci.

  		Fig. 3B. —32-year-old man with right testicular epidermoid cyst that showed onionskin appearance on sonography. T2-weighted MR image shows homogeneous high-signal-intensity lesion surrounded by low-signal-intensity rim.

  		Fig. 4C. —19-year-old man with left testicular epidermoid cyst that showed target appearance on sonography and MR imaging. T1-weighted MR image shows low-signal-intensity lesion with central intermediate-signal-intensity focus.

  		Fig. 1C. —11-year-old boy with right testicular epidermoid cyst that showed partially indistinct margin and lobulated contour on sonography. Unenhanced T1-weighted MR image shows lesion of heterogeneous signal intensity and partially indistinct margin (arrows).

  		Fig. 1D. —11-year-old boy with right testicular epidermoid cyst that showed partially indistinct margin and lobulated contour on sonography. Fat-suppressed contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MR image shows sharply marginated low-signal-intensity mass without enhancement. Suppression of signal intensity in portions containing high lipid content is noted. Adjacent vessel (arrow) simulating enhancement is seen.
