Simple cyst of the rete testis.
We report a case of a simple cyst in the upper pole and connected to the mediastinum testis at the rete testis. The cyst appeared to arise from a dilated rete duct, and it was spherical, smooth-walled and filled with clear fluid. The epithelium was lined with a single layer of cuboidal or flattened cells, with no evidence of squamous differentiation.
