Epididymal cyst

What it means

A smooth, extratesticular, spherical cyst in the head of the epididymis.

Diagnosis of epididymal cyst can be confirmed by scrotal ultrasound. Patients can present with scrotal mass or pain. Epididymal cysts are usually between 3-30 mm in diameter. In some cases they can resolve spontaneously.
