Cilia in the male genital tract are found on the epithelium of the ductuli efferentes, epididymis and vas deferens. Detached ciliary tufts (DCTs) were observed in semen of 13 men and this paper deals with the clinical features of these patients. There was a high incidence of smoking (73%), diminished testicular volume in 64%, a high number with previous urological surgery and trauma and an increased percentage of cytoplasmic droplets. It is postulated that DCTs originate from the epididymal ephithelium. DCTs are possibly shedded as part of epididymal involvement which occurs as a result of testicular pathology caused by several agents.
男性生殖道中的纤毛存在于输出小管、附睾和输精管的上皮细胞上。在13名男性的精液中观察到了脱离的纤毛束（DCTs），本文探讨了这些患者的临床特征。吸烟率很高（73%），64%的患者睾丸体积减小，既往有泌尿外科手术和外伤史的人数较多，细胞质滴百分比增加。据推测，DCTs起源于附睾上皮。DCTs可能是作为附睾受累的一部分而脱落的，附睾受累是由多种因素引起的睾丸病理变化导致的。
