Pseudocysts of the tunica albuginea: benign invasion by testicular tubules.
We describe a patient undergoing exploration for an epididymectomy in whom a unique apparently multicystic lesion of the testis resulted in orchiectomy. On microscopic examination the lesion was proved to be a benign, previously unreported condition wherein the tunica albuginea was split by an invasion of testicular tubules. We postulate that this condition is a developmental anomaly.
