A multilocular spermatocele, a rare epididymal cyst, was surgically explored due to suspected tumor. Histopathology confirmed the benign spermatocele, highlighting its potential to mimic solid tumors on imaging.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Andrology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Spermatoceles are common epididymal cysts, typically small and asymptomatic.
  • Larger spermatoceles can present diagnostic challenges, potentially mimicking other scrotal pathologies.

Observation:

  • Ultrasound revealed multiple cystic spaces in the head of the left epididymis.
  • The cystic nature of the lesion raised suspicion for an epididymal tumor.

Findings:

  • Surgical exploration and subsequent histopathological examination confirmed a multilocular spermatocele.
  • The spermatocele was found to arise from the rete testis.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering multilocular spermatoceles in the differential diagnosis of scrotal masses.
