• Asymptomatic

  Abstract A hydrocele of the spermatic cord, which results from aberrant closure of the processus vaginalis, is an asymptomatic entity detected incidentally on computed tomography (CT) scans performed for other clinical indications. [journals.sagepub.com]

• Scrotal Mass

  Description Scrotal malignancies are rare and of unknown etiology. There are, however, a number of benign scrotal conditions that may present as a scrotal mass and must be differentiated from a malignant process. [healthcentral.com]

  Diagnosis: Transilluminate any mass in the scrotum. If light shines through the mass you are confident that it is cystic. The most common cystic scrotal mass in a child is a hydrocele or inguinal hernia. [meddean.luc.edu]

  The main symptom of a hydrocele that occurs without epididymitis is scrotal swelling. As the hydrocele fills with fluid and grows, the scrotum itself gets larger. Some men may have pain or discomfort from the increased size of the scrotal mass. [capefearvalley.com]

  [citation needed] Secondary hydroceles[edit] Secondary hydroceles due to testicular diseases can be the result of cancer, trauma (such as a hernia), or orchitis (inflammation of testis), and can also occur in infants undergoing peritoneal dialysis. [en.wikipedia.org]

  Secondary Hydrocoeles Secondary hydrocele due to testicular diseases, can be the result of, cancer, trauma, or orchitis. Secondary hydrocele is most frequently associated with acute or chronic epididymo-orchitis. [pawanlal.org]

  Testicular swelling Most conditions of the scrotum and testicles can cause swelling, including varicocele, testicular torsion, orchitis, epididymitis and hydrocele, to name a few. [beaumont.org]

  In dications: Testicular pain Testicular swelling/mass Trauma II. Anatomy The scrotum is a saccular structure divided into two compartments by the median raphe. Each compartment contains a testicle, epididymis, vas deferens, and spermatic cord. [acep.org]

The ultrasound images of the patients were subsequently reviewed to analyze the typical features in the diagnostic workup of hydrocele of spermatic cord. Eight patients were confirmed by surgery. [e-ultrasonography.org]

During staging workup, a CT scan (Fig. 3) incidentally showed a cystic structure in the right groin. In view of our experience in the first case (described above), this mass was confidently diagnosed as a cord hydrocele. [tandfonline.com]

• Erythroblast

  Aspiration cytology revealed various kinds of erythroblasts and myeloblasts, and megakaryocytes. Namely, orthochromatic polychromatic and basophilic erythroblasts, and metamyelocytes and myelocytes etc. were observed in the aspirated fluid. [jstage.jst.go.jp]

(exception - funicular hydrocele, encysted hydrocele) Treatment[edit] Most hydroceles appearing in the first year of life seldom require treatment as they resolve without treatment.[4] Hydroceles that persist after the first year or occur later in life [en.wikipedia.org]

Recurrence after re-treatment with polidocanol in both groups was seen in four patients (25%) in group 1 and in 14 patients (44%) in the former placebo group. The overall success rate of treatment in group 1 was 89%. [14] [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prognosis The prognosis is dependent on the presence of any underlying cause. Most congenital hydroceles resolve by the end of the first year of life. [patient.info]

Etiology Among the many causes of hydrocele, the most common tends to be the disruption of the lymphatic system. [karger.com]
