Papillary Cystadenoma of the Epididymis: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Journal Title: American Journal of Sonography - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 5
Abstract
We present a case of a 34-year-old male with a unilateral papillary cystadenoma of the right epididymis (PCE). His past medical history is remarkable for Von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHLD), bilateral renal clear cell carcinoma, and hemangioblastomas. The patient noticed an abnormality with mild tenderness in the right scrotum. Ultrasound (US) of the right scrotum demonstrated a solid and cystic epididymal lesion. In this case report, we present the sonographic features of the PCE in the setting of a patient with VHLD.
