SUMMARY A case of papillary cystadenoma of the epididymis is reported. This tumour, although extremely rare, is one of the benign lesions which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a swelling in the epididymal region. It is suggested that the tumour may have arisen in a spermatocele. We wish to thank Mr T. W. Mimpriss, under whose care this patient was admitted, for permission to publish the case, and Mr J. S. Fenton for the photomicrographs.
