The geographic shape, lack of mass effect, and lack of internal vascularity (Doppler flow) are helpful to distinguish this benign condition from a partially cystic tumor.
Oct 30, 2023 · The rete testis is an interconnected network of small tubes located in the mediastinum of the testis. It contains sperm cells that travel from the testicle to the epididymis.

The rete testis is a continuous chamber of flattened and irregular-shaped anastomosing channels lined by squamous to cuboidal epithelial cells adjacent to the tunica albuginea (rodents) and extending centrally into the testis of larger mammals including man.
