title: Positive hydrocele cytology accompanying testis seminoma.
abstract: Accurate palpation of the testis may be obscured by the presence of a hydrocele. Analysis of hydrocele fluid is seldom reported. We describe the cytologic demonstration of malignant cells within a hydrocele accompanying testicular seminoma. Although this connection is not unexpected, it is only rarely documented.
