Epididymal head cysts of 5cm are more serious and require surgical intervention.
Epididymal head cysts are sac-like lesions that occur in the epididymis and contain sperm and fluid. It usually occurs at the top of the epididymis and rarely at the surface or tail. It is a benign lesion. The exact location, size, and morphology of the cyst can be detected clinically by means of ultrasound.
If the cyst is less than 4cm in size and there is no sensation or abnormality, treatment is usually not required. It is recommended that ultrasound be done every three months or so to observe changes in the cyst.
