Multilocular spermatocele: a case report

We describe a case of a multilocular spermatocele. Ultrasound examination revealed several cystic spaces at the head of the left epididymis. Epididymal tumor could not be excluded, and therefore surgical exploration was performed. Histopathological examination of the specimen revealed a multilocular spermatocele arising from the rete testis. Most spermatoceles remain small and rarely present marked clinical problems. but they are occasionally large, and may simulate a solid tumor.
