📋Overview
Spermatocele is a benign cystic swelling that develops in the epididymis, typically containing fluid and dead sperm cells. It is also known as an epididymal cyst, though spermatocele specifically refers to cysts containing sperm. This condition is distinct from other scrotal masses and is generally noncancerous.
