Abstract:
This article reports a case of a 55-year-old patient who was admitted to the hospital due to an 8-year history of a right epididymal mass and intermittent right scrotal heaviness for 1 month. Preoperative ultrasound examination revealed a right epididymal cyst and right testicular hydrocele. Under general anesthesia, a right epididymal mass resection and right testicular tunica vaginalis inversion procedure were performed. Postoperative pathological diagnosis was epididymal papillary cystadenoma. The patient has been followed up for 1 year with no recurrence and malignancy. Epididymal papillary cystadenoma, a rare benign tumor, lacks specific clinical and imaging features, often leading to misdiagnosis as seminal vesicle cysts or malignant tumors. If associated with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, bilateral occurrence should be considered to prevent missed diagnosis and treatment delay.
