[Dermoid cyst of inguinal channel: review of the literature and clinical observation].

Abstract

The literature digest and own clinical observation of the inguinal channel dermoid cyst was presented. It is necessary to take into account the possibility of a dermoid cyst existence, while performing differential diagnosis of inguinal channel pathology. To exclude malignancy and metastatising of dermoid cyst the determination of tumor markers (alpha-phetoprotein, beta-chorionic gonadotropin content) is indicated.
