Spermatocele Mimicking Hydrocele: A Case Report in a Young Patient of 42 Years Old
A spermatocele is a cyst-like mass that usually forms on the epididymis; they are benign cystic accumulations of sperm. Depending on their size, they can mimic a hydrocele clinically and radiologically. We report the case of a giant spermatocele in a 42-year-old married. The patient had fathered two children with no fertility problem. This spermatocele gradually increases in volume for 4 years and requires surgical management in front of the scrotal pain and functional gene presented by the patient. Through this case, we present the diagnostic difficulty, the therapeutic approach through a literature review on the subject.
