We studied eight cases of an epididymal lesion resembling vasitis nodosa. Four cases were encountered among a group of patients who underwent epididymectomy for pain following vasectomy. The other four cases occurred in the absence of that history. The lesion probably represents a regenerative effort following rupture of a duct resulting from long-standing obstruction, either locally or at some point distally in the ductal system. Recognition is important to prevent misdiagnosis as a neoplasm.
我们研究了8例类似输精管结节性炎的附睾病变。4例出现在一组因输精管结扎术后疼痛而接受附睾切除术的患者中。另外4例在无该病史的情况下发生。该病变可能代表因长期梗阻导致的管道破裂后的再生反应，梗阻部位可能在局部或管道系统的远端某处。认识到这一点对于防止误诊为肿瘤很重要。
