	eMedicine - Spermatocele : Article by Vernon M Pais, Jr, MD
		Spermatoceles typically arise from the caput (head) of the epididymis, which is located on the superior aspect of the testicle.
		Because aspiration of spermatocele alone is associated with a high recurrence rate, a sclerosing agent is used to cause coaptation of the walls of the cyst.
		Using both blunt and sharp dissection, the spermatocele is isolated from the body of the epididymis, and, typically, a narrow neck is found attaching the spermatocele to the rest of the epididymis.

	24Dr.com Reference Library - Encyclopaedia - Spermatocele
		Spermatoceles are benign cysts of the scrotum (from "spermato", for sperm, and "cele", for cavity)..
		If the epididymis is removed with the spermatocele, the recurrence rate is lower, but then there is an slight increase in risk of damage to the blood supply to the testicle.
		Hormone problems after spermatocele removal is a very unlikely event, and would only occur in the rare event that the blood supply to the testicle is damaged.

	Spermatocele- Health Encyclopedia and Reference
		Spermatocele is a retention cyst of a tubule of the rete testis or the head of the epididymis.
		Spermatoceles are usually found at the head of the epididymis, adjacent or posterior to the superior pole of the testicle.
		The differential diagnosis of a painless scrotal mass includes spermatocele, hydrocele, hernia, varicocele, tuberculosis of the epididymis, and tumors of the testicle or epididymis.

	Spermatocele - MayoClinic.com
		A spermatocele is a cyst that develops in the epididymis —; the small, coiled tube situated in the upper testicle that collects and transports sperm.
		Generally painless and noncancerous (benign), a spermatocele usually is filled with milky or clear fluid that may contain dead sperm.
		Spermatoceles are usually less than 2 to 3 centimeters in diameter, although some may be larger.

	Spermatocele
		Spermatoceles are usually found at the head of the epididemis, next to the top of the testicle.
		A simple, small spermatocele does not require treatment.This remains true even if it is larger, but asymptomatic.
		This may involve the surgical removal of the spermatocele (“spermatocelectomy”).

	Spermatocele (Epididymal Cyst)
		A spermatocele (epididymal cyst) is a sperm-filled cyst in the long, tightly coiled tube that lies above and behind each testicle (epididymis).
		Although the cause of a spermatocele is often unknown, it may be caused by obstruction of the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles (epididymal ducts).
		Spermatoceles are not usually dangerous and are treated only when they cause pain or embarrassment or when they decrease the blood supply to the penis (rare).

	Spermatocele
		Spermatoceles are most often found in men between the ages of 40 to 60.
		Because a spermatocele usually produces no symptoms, you may discover it only during a testicular self-exam, or your doctor may find it during a routine physical exam.
		A less-used treatment is sclerotherapy, which involves puncturing the spermatocele with a needle, withdrawing the fluid and injecting an irritating agent into the sac.
