A clinical study was made on 57 patients (61 cases)of intrascrotal mass in the Department of Urology, Han Il Hospital, during the period from January, 1978 to December, 1981. The results were follows: 1. The incidence of intrascrotal mass was 11.5% of total admitted patients. 2. The most common population was 20-29 year of age giving the rate of 36.4% (18 patients). 3. 29 patients were affected in the right side, 24 patients in the left and 4 patients in both. 4. 39 cases were painless intrascrotal mass and 22 cases were painful. 5. The most common disease was hydrocele giving the rate of 45.9% (28 cases). Acute epididymitis was 23.0% (14 cases), tuberculous epididymitis 9.8% (6 cases), varicocele 6.6% (4 cases), others 14.7% (9 cases). 6. Of 61 cases, operation was performed in 43 cases and conservative management in 18 cases.

The congenital unilateral agenesis is defined as the complete absence of one kidney due to the fact that the ureteral bud fails to develop or, if it does develop, does not reach the metanephros. It is usually found by accident on urography. We have experienced 2 cases of congenital unilateral renal agenesis accompanied by tuberculous epididymitis, proved by radiologically and surgically and report with brief review of the literatures.

The renal agenesis and ectopic ureter were relatively rare congenital disease, but their combined form was more extremely rare condition. We report a case of ectopic ureteral opening associated with ipsilateral renal agenesisthat noted recurrent epididymitis in 18 month old children with review of literatures.

Diagnostic ultrasound was a simple, rapid, harmless, and painless method to visualize ultrascrotal contents, it provided information that was difficult to obtain on clinical examination. We recently tested the effectiveness of diagnostic ultrasound in 41 men with scrotal masses. In general, ultrasound was highly effective in differentiating and characterizing testicular and extratesticular masses. The following results were obtained. 1. The ultrasonic examination revealed 37 extratesticular lesions, 3 testicular lesions and 1 indeterminate lesion. Of the extratesticular lesions 22 were believed to be cystic but represented 18 hydroceles and 4 spermatoceles. 15 lesions were thought to be solid that represented epididymitis. 2. The accuracy rate the scrotal ultrasound, given a complete clinical history, was 97% in this series. 3. The tumor showed decreased echogenicity within the testicle, which was enlarged. The characteristic appearance of hydrocele, spermatocele were sonolucent cystic mass. The epididymis was enlarged in 11 patients with epididymitis, the echogenicity within testicle was decreased in 5 patients with epididymitis.

27 endoscopic internal urethrotomy was done on 24 patients with urethral strictures. the results were as follows: 1. Endoscopic internal urethrotomy can be performed under local anesthesia. 2. It can be repeated if necessary. 3. other endoscopic procedures were done simultaneously on 5 cases. 4. Complications were minimal, one case of epididymitis and one of sepsis. 5. When carefully performed this procedure is highly useful for the primary management of any urethral stricture.

Xanthogranulomatous epididymitis is an extremely rare disease. Its etiology is unclear, but it is characterized by chronic suppurative granulomatous inflammation. We report on a 53-year-old diabetic man who suffered from left scrotal swelling and pain. Because the condition did not improve with the use of antibiotic therapy, left orchiectomy was performed. Pathological examination revealed a xanthogranulomatous epididymitis.

The spermatic granuloma is a granulomatous inflammation which is the tissue reaction due to extravasated sperm. Its exact causes and mechanism are not clearly evaluated. Its clinical interest is that it often confused with tuberculous epididymitis and other epididymal conditions. We experienced a case of spermatic granuloma that was clinically confused with tuberculous epididymitis in 23-year old Korean male.

Xanthogranulomatous epididymitis is extremely uncommon inflammatory disease of the epididymis that may result in massive destruction of the organ. It's clinical manifestation mimics epididymal tumor or abscess, which does not allow easy discrimination between theses diseases. We report here on a case of xanthogranulomatous epididymitis in a 69 years old man that, did not respond to antibiotic therapy.

A case history is presented of a seminal vesicular cyst which caused recurrent epididymitis in a young boy. Seminal vesicular cyst is an uncommon disorder and is usually asymptomatic. Endoscopic cannulation of the cyst has been found to be the most useful diagnostic test. At first, the patient was managed by dilation of the orifice of ejaculatory duct in order to facilitate drainage. However, he suffered from incontinence and sustained retrovesical cystic mass. We therefore excised the seminal vesicular cyst by transvesical approach.
