- At sonography, it appears as multiple small cystic or tubular anechoic structures that replace and enlarge the testicular mediastinum. 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.

Tubular ectasia of the rete testis is a benign clinical entity in which cystic dilation of rete testis results from partial or complete obliteration of the efferent ducts. These spermatozoa-containing cysts communicate with the tubular system into the epididymis.

TERT in ultrasound imaging of the testis (left longitudinal and right horizontal plane): tubular ectasia of the rete testis with spermatocele (visible in the right image). Differential diagnosis: Cystic teratoma, cystic testicular dysplasia, simple testicular cyst, epidermoid cyst.
The condition can be detected with ultrasonography. Cystic lesions us usually found at the mediastinum testis with elongated shaped lesion displacing the mediastinum. [1] It is commonly associated with epididymal abnormalities, such as spermatocele, epididymal cyst, and epididymitis.
Feb 24, 2016 · Technique and Scanning Protocol. Ultrasonography of the scrotum includes greyscale and color Doppler evaluation of testicles, epididymides, and the scrotum. Spectral Doppler evaluation is performed to demonstrate appropriate waveforms within the testicular artery and vein.

The rete testis (/ ˈ r iː t i ˈ t ɛ s t ɪ s / REE-tee TES-tis; pl.: retia testes) is an anastomosing network of delicate tubules located in the hilum of the testicle (mediastinum testis) that carries sperm from the seminiferous tubules to the efferent ducts.
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 tubes from the rete testis originate from the seminiferous tubules .
