Abstract: 
Epididymal cyst is commonly seen in middle aged. The pathogenesis of epididymal cyst is still unclear. Small epididymal cyst are asymptomatic but are detected on ultrasound examination of scrotum. Giant epididymal cyst is even rarer in adults and children. We present the case of a 25 year old man with giant mass in right scrotum, which was clinically diagnosed as a right epididymal cyst. An ultrasound of the scrotum revealed images supporting a giant epididymal cyst. Intraoperatively, a giant epididymal cyst was observed, for which the patient underwent its excision. Postoperatively, the patient is doing well of follow-up.
