Hello,
It is very unusual to have dermoid cysts in the scrotum. They usually occur in the midline, or in the body of points where bony fusion occurs. It is extremely unusual. But I reassure you that MRI will delineate what the cysts really are and their origin. I feel they could be enlarged sebaceous gland cysts.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
