  Inactivation of the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) gene and activation of the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) in susceptible cells precedes formation of tumorlets and frank tumor in the epididymis of male VHL patients.
  There is a pathogenetic continuum between microscopic tumorlets and formation of tumor.
  In multiple locations, three-dimensional reconstruction reveals papillary growth to extend deeply into ductular lumina, indicative of progression into early hamartoma-like neoplasia.

• anomalous attachement of the epididymis to the testis
  8 March 2010

  Anomalous attachement of the epididymis to the testis represents the commonest type of epididymal malformation.
  It includes the diagnoses of atresia, detachment or loose attachment of one or more segments, and epididymal elongation.

  Acquired epididymal cysts
  Most epididymal cysts occur later in life and are likely acquired. They occur after childhood and are diagnosed by ultrasound examination following palpation of a scrotal mass.
  Acquired epididymal cysts usually regress spontaneously, and anatomic pathological studies are rarely performed.
  A well-characterized example of acquired epididymal cysts results from obstruction of the epididymis or vas deferens leading to secondary cystic dilation of the epididymal (...)
