Cisto de epidídimo gigante versus hidrocele: confusão diagnóstica

Abstract: RESUMO A espermatocele-cavidade cística contendo fluido e esperma-está entre as condições determinantes mais comuns de massas escrotais não agudas. Geralmente são assintomáticas, porém, quando aumentadas de tamanho, podem trazer desconforto físico e/ou estético. Com o advento da ultrassonografia (USG) cada vez mais se diagnostica esta condição. Na presença de grandes coleções fluidas, a USG pode falhar na determinação da patologia correta. Portanto, relatamos o caso de uma grande espermatocele inicialmente con… Show more

“…Testicular and epididymal cystic lesions have been reported in several species including canine ( 9 ), feline ( 10 ), equine ( 6 ), bovine ( 11 ), ovine ( 12 ), porcine ( 13 ), caprine ( 14 ), and humans ( 15 ). Epididymal cysts are mainly of congenital origin, but traumatic or inflammatory causes must be considered ( 16 ).…”

“…In this stallion, the histological features observed, namely the lower columnar epithelium surrounded by abundant muscle bundles, as well as the anatomical location of the lesion, support the diagnosis of an epididymal cystic lesion. As the cystic cavity was filled with fluid compatible with sperm, the lesion is defined as a spermatocele ( 15 ). This lesion presumably led to complete spermatic blockage or spermiostasis, characterized by the accumulation of an excessive number of sperm, which can cause prominent dilation of the epididymis ( 25 ).…”
