	Rete mirabile - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Rete mirabile (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		A rete mirabile (Latin for "wonderful net") is a complex of arteries and veins lying very close to each other, found in a number of vertebrates, and serving different purposes.
		In birds with webbed feet, a rete mirabile in the legs and feet transfers heat from outgoing blood in arteries to the incoming blood from the veins, with the net effect that the internal temperature of the feet is much closer to the ambient temperature, thus preventing heat loss.
		The ancient physician Galen mistakenly thought that humans also have a rete mirabile in the neck, apparently based on dissection of sheep, and ascribed important properties to it; it fell to Vesalius to demonstrate the error.

	GI case 16
		Tubular ectasia of the testis is a benign condition, also know as cystic transformation of the rete testis, and results from dilatation of the efferent tubules, which causes ectasia and cystic transformation.
		Although the origin of the ectasia is vague, it probably represents changes secondary to obstruction of the tubules following infection or trauma.
		Intratesticular varicocele is a rare entity, which can have a similar appearance to tubular ectasia, but it increases in size on the Valsalva manoeuvre and shows blood flow.

		Tubular ectasia of the rete testes may be mistaken for a intratesticular neoplasm.
		However, unlike a testicular neoplasm, tubular ectasia presents as variable sized cystic lesions in the region of the mediastinum testes with no associated soft-tissue abnormality and no flow or color flow on Doppler imaging.
		These classic findings distinguish this benign condition from a neoplasm.
