Rete tubular ectasia. Ultrasound image showing tubular ectasia of the rete testis as an incidental finding in an 81 year old male. Rete tubular ectasia, also known as cystic transformation of rete testis[1] is a benign condition, usually found in older men, involving numerous small, tubular cystic structures within the rete testis.
The ultrasound appearance of a microcystic or multiple tubular-like lesions located at the mediastinal testis [Fig. 23] and associated with an epididymal cyst in a middle-aged or elderly patient should alert the sonographer to the possibility of tubular ectasia.
The rete testis (/ ˈriːti ˈtɛstɪs / REE-tee TES-tis; pl.: retia testes) is an anastomosing network of delicate tubules located in the hilum of the testicle (mediastinum testis) that carries sperm from the seminiferous tubules to the efferent ducts. It is the homologue of the rete ovarii in females. [1] Its function is to provide a site for ...
Ejaculatory duct obstruction (EDO) is a pathological condition which is characterized by the obstruction of one or both ejaculatory ducts. Thus, the efflux of (most constituents of) semen is not possible. It can be congenital or acquired. It is a cause of male infertility and/or pelvic pain. Ejaculatory duct obstruction must not be confused ...
Pronunciation. / spɜːrˈmætəsiːl / [1][2] Specialty. Urology. 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.
Epididymal cyst is a harmless sac in the testicles filled with fluid. [2] The most frequent clinical presentation occurs when a routine physical examination yields an unexpected finding, which is then confirmed by scrotal ultrasonography. [1] Although the exact cause of epididymal cysts is unknown, it is likely a congenital anomaly associated ...
Epididymis. The right testicle, exposed by laying open the tunica vaginalis. The epididymis (/ ɛpɪˈdɪdɪmɪs /; pl.: epididymides / ɛpɪdɪˈdɪmədiːz / or / ɛpɪˈdɪdəmɪdiːz /) is an elongated tubular genital organ attached to the posterior side of each one of the two male reproductive glands, the testicles.
Testicular torsion occurs when the spermatic cord (from which the testicle is suspended) twists, cutting off the blood supply to the testicle. [3] The most common symptom in children is sudden, severe testicular pain. [1] The testicle may be higher than usual in the scrotum and vomiting may occur. [1][2] In newborns, pain is often absent and ...
