PURPOSE: We established the baseline occurrence of epididymal cysts, and the correlation between epididymal cysts and testicular size. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed all pediatric scrotal ultrasounds done at our institution in 8 years. We analyzed the proportion of cysts by patient age and compared testicular size in boys with vs without epididymal cysts. RESULTS: Of all patients 14.4% had epididymal cysts. The cyst incidence increased with age, ie 35.3% of boys older than 15 years had cysts. Boys with epididymal cysts had larger testes than boys without cysts regardless of side or age (p <0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Epididymal cysts are more common in older boys. Boys with epididymal cysts had larger testes than boys without cysts.
