Carcinoma of Müllerian Vestigial Origin: Report of a Case

Abstract

Benign tumours of the epididymis, which are very rare, are variously regarded as adenomas, mesotheliomas and lymphangiomas, but an alternative opinion considers them to be of Müllerian vestigial origin. Their malignant counterparts are extremely rare, and this case is probably the second authentic instance to be reported in the English literature. Complete excision of the mass with wide resection of the cord followed by prophylactic local deep X‐ray therapy has provided total relief to the patient over the year which has elapsed since these measures were undertaken.
