- Papillary cystadenoma of the epididymis, see comment
 
Comment:
The tumour stains as follows:
POSITIVE: AE1/AE3, vimentin
NEGATIVE: CD10, calretinin, CD68, S100, OCT3/4
 
Papillary cystadenoma of the epididymis is a benign uncommon
tumour. Approximately 60 cases are reported in the literature.
It is associated with von Hippel-Lindau disease in approximately
1/3 of cases.
