"Spermatocele" following abdominoperineal resection and radiotherapy.
A 60-year-old man developed repeated spermatic fluid collection in the small pelvis following abdominoperineal resection and radiotherapy for carcinoma of the rectum. The "spermatocele" was due to a fistula originating in the vasoseminal vesicle junction. This complication has not been described previously.
