	~~#redirect~~ [[Testis~~#Spermatocele~~]]		'''Spermatocele''' is a benign pathology typically arising from the [[epididymis]].

			==General==
			*Benign.
			*Cyst of the epididymis (classic).
			**May arise in the rete testis or [[vas deferens]].<ref>URL: [http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/443432-overview http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/443432-overview]. Accessed on: 5 March 2012.</ref>

			Clinical:
			*Often asymptomatic.
			*Excised due to pain or mass effect.<ref name=pmid18357964>{{Cite journal \| last1 = Walsh \| first1 = TJ. \| last2 = Seeger \| first2 = KT. \| last3 = Turek \| first3 = PJ. \| title = Spermatoceles in adults: when does size matter? \| journal = Arch Androl \| volume = 53 \| issue = 6 \| pages = 345-8 \| month = \| year = \| doi = \| PMID = 18357964 }}</ref>

			==Microscopic==
			Features:
			*Cyst lined by a simple ciliated epithelium.
			*Contain sperm.
			**Head: ~1/2 the size of a [[RBC]], black.
			**Tail: infrequently seen.

			Note:
			*Small cellular clusters may be present.
			**May mimic [[small cell carcinoma]].<ref name=pmid19740515>{{Cite journal \| last1 = Lane \| first1 = Z. \| last2 = Epstein \| first2 = JI. \| title = Small blue cells mimicking small cell carcinoma in spermatocele and hydrocele specimens: a report of 5 cases. \| journal = Hum Pathol \| volume = 41 \| issue = 1 \| pages = 88-93 \| month = Jan \| year = 2010 \| doi = 10.1016/j.humpath.2009.06.018 \| PMID = 19740515 }}</ref>
