Abstract
Primary neoplasms of the epididymis are rare, but they are of importance in the differential diagnosis of diseases affecting this organ. Thirteen of these tumors encountered at the Mayo Clinic to January, 1935, were previously reported on by one of us (G. J. T.).1 The work of Evans2(1943), Golden and Ash3(1945), and others aroused sufficient interest to warrant reconsideration and reclassification of this group of neoplasms, with special reference to the so-called adenomatoid tumor. It is our purpose briefly to review and to analyze the world literature relating to this subject (134 cases) in an attempt to correlate the histopathologic features with clinical behavior. In addition, the entire group of such neoplasms seen at the Mayo Clinic (19 cases) will be summarized. The first case of benign adenomatoid tumor of the epididymis was presented by Sakaguchi4in 1916; since then additional contributions have beenKeywords
