Papillary cystadenoma of the epididymis as a cause of obstructive azoospermia.
We report a case of infertility due to obstructive azoospermia determined by papillary cystadenoma of the epididymis. The 28-year-old patient had other signs of von Hippel-Lindau syndrome and died from neurological complications. The possibility of finding an epididymal neoplasm should be kept in mind in any case of azoospermia with epididymal enlargement.
