An epididymal cyst is a fluid-filled pocket that forms in the epididymis, a coiled tube in the back of the testicle that stores and transports sperm. These cysts are benign (not cancerous), typically painless, and can be very common with age.
A spermatocele (also called a spermatic or epididymal cyst) is a fluid-filled sac that grows in the epididymis -- a tightly coiled tube about 20 feet long where the sperm matures as it passes...
A spermatocele, also known as a spermatic cyst, is a typically painless, noncancerous (benign), fluid-filled sac that grows near the top of a testicle. The exact cause of spermatoceles isn't clear, but they might be due to a blockage in one of the tubes that transport sperm.
An epididymal cyst usually presents as a soft, slightly squidgy lump at the top or bottom of your testicle (testis). It is not usually painful and won't affect your ability to exercise, pass urine or ejaculate. They do not usually get infected. Continue reading below.
Epididymal is a term used to describe a cyst which forms on the epididymis. The male anatomy is shown in the picture. The scrotum, or sac, contains a testicle on each side. The testicle has two functions. It makes testosterone, the male hormone, which is absorbed into the blood stream.
An epididymal cyst, a benign cystic fluid collection in the scrotum, usually manifests as a painless swelling on top of the testicle and can be inadvertently discovered during a physical examination. [2] The most typical clinical findings are scrotal mass and pain. [1]
A spermatocele is a fluid-filled growth (cyst) that develops from your epididymis. Your epididymis is a tube that runs behind and over the top of each testicle. Its main job is to store and transport sperm.
A spermatocele (epididymal cyst) is a fluid-filled cyst in the long, tightly coiled tube that lies above and behind each testicle (epididymis). It feels like a smooth, firm lump in the scrotum on top of the testicle. Having a spermatocele doesn't affect fertility.
Epididymal cysts and spermatoceles, are fluid-filled cysts that can form in a man’s scrotum. Epididymal cysts form in the epididymis, while spermatoceles form in the tubules that transport sperm (spermatoceles form behind and adjacent to the testicles).
A spermatocele (epididymal cyst) is a fluid-filled cyst in the long, tightly coiled tube that lies above and behind each testicle (epididymis). It feels like a smooth, firm lump in the scrotum on top of the testicle. Having a spermatocele doesn't affect fertility. What causes it?
