We present a 35-year-old male patient who came to the Urology outpatient clinic due to an increase in left hemiscrotal volume, an epididymal cyst was diagnosed, and surgical treatment was performed by spermatoectomy. OBJECTIVE: We present a case of large cyst of the left epididymis in an adult with live spermatozoa, with the aim of performing spermatocytelectomy as a definitive surgical treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Once again, physical examination and plain testicular ultrasound are accurate tools for the diagnosis of the case. After histopathological diagnosis and timely surgical treatment (spermatoclemy), the patient maintains good general condition.
