Testicular hydatidocele

Testicular hydatidocele is a condition in which a fluid-filled cyst forms on the surface of the testicle. This is a fairly rare disease that is most often diagnosed in men aged 20 to 40 years.

The cause of testicular hydatidocele is the formation of a cyst from germ cells in the lining of the testicle. This may occur due to a disruption in embryonic development or as a result of injury. The cyst may gradually increase in size and cause pain or discomfort in the testicular area.

Symptoms of testicular hydatidocele may include pain or discomfort in the testicular area, an increase in testicular size, and a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum. In some cases, the cyst can put pressure on surrounding tissue, which can lead to poor circulation and tissue necrosis.

To diagnose testicular hydatidocele, an ultrasound examination of the testicle is performed. This allows you to determine the size of the cyst and its characteristics, as well as exclude other tumor processes.

Treatment of testicular hydatidocele may include observation and dynamic monitoring of the condition of the cyst, as well as its surgical removal. In most cases, removal of the cyst is the only effective treatment.

Overall, testicular hydatidocele is a rare condition, but it can lead to serious complications if left untreated. Therefore, if you experience pain or discomfort in the testicular area, you should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.



Testicular hydatidosis is a protrusion of the spermatic cord membranes around the undescended testicle and engorged, watery lesions that may be visible through the skin of the scrotum. Testicular hydatids are tumor-like accumulations and outgrowths of the vaginal folds of the vaginal epithelium of varying sizes and consistency, freely moving or attached to the testicle and leading to the formation of a hydatoid cyst or multiple cysts.

In 6% of cases, the hydatid cyst can communicate with the anterior abdominal cavity and contains transudate. Under the influence of a tumor of the hydatid tissue, deformation of the inguinal canal and the formation of an inguinal hernia can occur. Hydatidosis is considered a pathology of abnormal development of the membranes of the vas deferens and testicle, although during embryogenesis all elements of the testicles are formed as partial
