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.
我们报告一例59岁的附睾淋巴管扩张症男性患者。患者注意到阴囊内有间歇性无痛性肿胀。右侧附睾头部的间质中有许多大的、扩张的淋巴管,在附睾管之间和周围形成不规则的通道。除局灶性立方上皮衬里外,传入性附睾管显示出与淋巴管相似的扩张。右侧睾丸的精子发生得以保留。附睾淋巴管扩张症并不常见,需要与其他阴囊内病变相鉴别。
