Abstract :
Spermatocele is a rare disease that leads to discomfort such as scrotal mass, pain, and loss of aesthetics. Generally it causes unilateral and rarely clinical complaint. At diagnosis they could mimic other intrascrotal masses, so, physical examination and scrotal ultrasound is very important. The treatment depends on the size of the cyst, severity of symptoms and the surgeon’s preference. 58-year-old male patient complaint with left scrotal swelling and intermittent scrotal pain for about 5 years was admitted to our clinic. A hard mass was detected in the left scrotum about 10-15 cm in size with palpation. With the scrotal color Doppler ultrasonography, fluid-filled cystic mass was detected, approximately 12x8 cm in size, in the left scrotum. The left scrotal exploration was done and approximately 12x6 cm size spermatocele was extracted.
