Hydrocele testis is a benign pathology of the testis.
Hydrocele sac redirects to this article.
General
Clinical:
- Scrotal mass.
Microscopic
Features:
- Cyst lined by a simple ciliated epithelium.
- Does not contain sperm.
DDx:
- Spermatocele - contains sperm.
Sign out
Submitted as "Right Hydrocele Sac", Excision:
- Consistent with hydrocele sac.
Submitted as "Left Hydrocele Sac", Excision:
- Benign, consistent with thick-walled hydrocele sac with focal calcifications.
Block letters
HYDROCELE SAC, LEFT, EXCISION: - CONSISTENT WITH HYDROCELE SAC.
SOFT TISSUE ("HYDROCELE SAC"),LEFT, EXCISION:
- FIBROADIPOSE TISSUE COVERED BY MESOTHELIUM WITH REACTIVE CHANGES -- CONSISTENT
WITH HYDROCELE SAC.
- EPIDIDYMIS WITH SPERM (INCIDENTAL FINDING).
Micro
The sections shows fragments of tissue compatible with a benign cyst, that had a fibrous wall and was lined by a simple epithelium. No spermatocytes are identified.
Benign connective tissue (including skeletal muscle, nerves and blood vessels) is also present.
