Spermatocele is a fluid-filled cyst that develops in the epididymis. [3] The fluid is usually a clear or milky white color and may contain sperm. [4] Spermatoceles are typically filled with spermatozoa [5] and they can vary in size from several millimeters to many centimeters.
In vasectomies, the vas deferens are cut and the two ends are tied to prevent sperm from passing. Sperm granuloma may then form at the point where the vas deferens were cut, due to the possibility of sperm leaking out at this site. History of trauma or inflammation of the epididymis can also lead to a sperm granuloma. [2]
The ejaculatory ducts (ductus ejaculatorii) are paired structures in the male reproductive system. [1] Each ejaculatory duct is formed by the union of the vas deferens with the duct of the seminal vesicle. [2] They pass through the prostate, and open into the urethra above the seminal colliculus.

The vas deferens (pl.: vasa deferentia), ductus deferens (pl.: ductūs deferentes), or sperm duct is part of the male reproductive system of many vertebrates. In mammals, spermatozoa are produced in the seminiferous tubules and flow into the epididymal duct. The end of the epididymis is connected to the vas deferens.
The efferent ducts (also efferent ductules, ductuli efferentes, ductus efferentes, or vasa efferentia) connect the rete testis with the initial section of the epididymis. [1] There are two basic designs for efferent ductule structure: a) multiple entries into the epididymis, as seen in most large mammals.
The ductulus aberrant inferior (vas aberrans of Haller), is occasionally found connected with the lower part of the canal of the epididymis, or with the commencement of the vas deferens. Its length varies from 3.5 to 35 cm. [citation needed], and it may become dilated toward its extremity; more commonly, it retains the same diameter throughout.
