Abstract

On 4nother occasion a patient was seen with a small elastic swelling near the head of the right epididymis. It felt like one of the cysts which are so commonly met with in that situation, but it was not translucent. A small trochar and cannula were used to empty the supposititious cyst, butonlya little blood ran out, and the lumen of the trochar was partially blocked with a scrap of soft tissue. This was pronounced by the pathologist to be sarcomatous. The testicle was removed and a small sarcomatous tumour found in the body of the testis close to the head of the epididymis.
