title: [A case of bilateral spermatocele].
abstract: A case of bilateral spermatocele is reported. A 46-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of bilateral scrotal swelling. We obtained a colorless, opalescent fluid which contained numerous spermatozoa. The fluid volume, pH and gravity obtained from right spermatocele were 85 ml, 6.8 and 1.005, respectively, and those obtained from left side were 40 ml, 6.8 and 1.006, respectively. Spermatocelectomy was done under lumbal anesthesia. Both spematocele were found near the body of the epididymis. The wall of spermatocele had on epithelial lining of cuboidal cells. Twenty two cases of spermatocele reported in Japan since 1951 are reviewed.
