Abstract

Spermatocele is cystic dilatation of epididymis. These cysts are usually located outside of the tunica vaginalis and show transillumination as hydrocele. They are detected during a scrotal ultrasound incidentally. Although the etiology of most spermatoceles is idiopathic, trauma, infection or inflammatory process may lead to the development of spermatocele. Our case is a 69-year-old male patient with localized prostate cancer. He was admitted to our hospital with scrotal pain 3 months after open radical retropubic prostatectomy. His scrotal examination revealed 2 soft-density masses measuring 3-4 cm in diameter in the left scrotum and one measuring 5-6 cm in the right scrotum. Scrotal color Doppler ultrasonography showed two cystic masses filled with liquids one measuring 5.5 cm in the right scrotum and one measuring 2.4 cm in the left scrotum. Bilateral scrotal exploration was done and two spermatoceles, one measuring 3.4 cm in the left scrotum and the other measuring 5.6 cm in the right scrotum, were removed.

Özet

Spermatosel epididim denilen sperm kanallarının kistik dilatasyonudur. Bu kistler genellikle tunika vajinalisin dışında olup hidroseller gibi transluminasyon verirler. Sıklıkla skrotal ultrasonografi sırasında insidental olarak saptanırlar. Birçok spermatosel idiyopatik olmakla birlikte travma, enfeksiyon veya enflamatuvar olaylar spermatosel gelişimine neden olabilirler. Olgumuz 69 yaşında erkek hasta lokalize prostat kanseri nedeniyle yapılan açık radikal retropubik prostatektomi sonrası post-op 3. ayda skrotal ağrı şikayetiyle kliniğimize başvurdu. Skrotal muayenesinde sağda 5-6 cm boyutlarında solda 3-4 cm boyutlarında yumuşak dansiteli kitle tespit edildi. Yapılan skrotal renkli doppler ultrasonografide sağ skrotumda içi sıvı dolu yaklaşık 5*5 cm ve solda 2*4 cm boyutlarında kistik kitle tespit edildi. Bilateral skrotal eksplorasyon yapıldı ve sağ skrotumdan yaklaşık 5*6 cm boyutlarında sol skrotumdan 3*4 cm boyutlarında spermatosel çıkarıldı.
