Unusual location of papillary cystadenoma of vas deferens

Abstract

Papillary cystadenomas are rare, histologically distinct lesions that occur in the region of the epididymis and spermatic cord in young adults. Because of the intimate anatomic connection of the spermatic cord with scrotum and tunica vaginalis testis, it is often impossible to decide from which of these anatomic compartments these tumours have arisen. We report a case of 24 year old male with papillary cystadenoma of vas deferens who presented to us with a painless, gradually increasing swelling in the inguinal region.
