Rete tubular ectasia is a benign condition, usually found in older men, involving numerous small tubular cystic structures within the rete testis.
[edit] Epidemiology
Obstruction may be the common underlying factor.
[edit] Diagnosis
The condition can be detected with sonography. It is commonly associated with epididymal abnormalities, such as spermatocele, epididymal cyst, and epididymitis. The condition shares a common location with cystic dysplasia of the testis and intratesticular cysts.
[edit] Treatment
Typically none is required.
