Abstract
We report on a 59-year-old man with epididymal lymphangiectasis. The patient had noticed somewhat intermittent intrascrotal painless swelling. The interstitium of the right caput epididymis exhibited a number of large, dilated lymphatic vessels forming irregular channels among and around the epididymal ducts. The afferent epididymal ducts showed dilatation similar to that of the lymphatic vessels except for focal cuboid epithelial linings. Spermatogenesis in the right testis was preserved. Lymphangiectasis in the epididymis is infrequent and needs to be differentiated from other intrascrotal lesions.
