“…This is most often encountered as an isolated finding; however, it has been reported in association with ipsilateral renal agenesis, multicystic kidney disease, renal dysplasia, undescended testis, seminal vesicle cysts, Potter's syndrome, vesicoureteral reflux, and absence of the vas deferens. 4,5,6 The rete testis is a network of tubules carrying sperm from the seminiferous tubules to the efferent ductules, which then drain into the epididymis. Tubular ectasia is hypothesized to occur when the efferent ductules become partially or completely blocked causing spermatozoa-containing cysts to form.…”

We describe the rare combination of testicular microlithiasis, unilateral intra/extratesticular varicocele, and tubular ectasia of the rete testis in a 17-year-old boy who presented with testicular pain following a trauma. He had a prior history of undescended testis and orchiopexy in childhood. His workup included a normal abdominal ultrasound and a sperm analysis demonstrating a low sperm count with sperm dysmotility. A follow-up ultrasound was unchanged, and he has been managed conservatively. This combined set of findings has not been previously reported.

MRL/MpJ (MRL) is a model mouse for autoimmune diseases that shows dermatitis, vasculitis, arthritis, and glomerulonephritis. In addition to these immune-associated disorders, we found that aged MRL mice develop ovarian cysts originating from the rete ovarii, which is lined by ciliated or nonciliated epithelium and considered remnants of mesonephric tubules. Ovarian cysts, which are reported to have several sources, are associated with female infertility, but information regarding the genetic etiology of ovarian cysts originating from the rete ovarii is rare. In this study, to elucidate the genetic background of development of ovarian cysts, we performed quantitative
