DIAGNOSIS Tubular ectasia of the rete testis with spermatocele [FIGURE 1 OMITTED] DISCUSSION Benign intrascrotal lesions are a common finding in the male population.
A swelling in the scrotum may be a varicocele (a condition in which the blood supply of the testis develops varicose veins) or a spermatocele (a collection of sperm in a sac that develops next to the epididymis).
The ultrasound can best characterise different types of scrotal masses such as epididymal cyst, granuloma, hydrocele, varicocele, spermatocele, or a hernia.
