The cyclopædia of anatomy and physiology cyclopdiaofana0402todd Year: 1849 structure of the testicle is usually indeed sound in haematocele, but its nutrition becomes im- paired when the disease is of very old stand- ing. Encysted hcematocele of the testicle, or effusion of blood in a cyst connected with the testicle, is an extremely rare affection. The following is the only case of the kind that I have met with. I was requested by one of my colleagues at the London Hospital to examine a case of painful tumour connected with the left testicle. The patient, aged eighteen, had injured the part three months before. The scrotum was much swollen at the time of the accident, and the tumour formed afterwards. It was about the size of a chesnut, Lond. Med. and Phn-s. Journal, vol. Iviii. p. 299. 1003 quite moveable, but attached to theepididymis. The cyst was opened with a lancet, and exit given to a quantity of dark coagula lodged in a thickened cyst, the interior of which was lined by a rough false membrane. No doubt the cyst existed before the injury, which caused effusion of blood and inflammation, and thickening of the cyst. Hcematocele of the spermatic cord is an affection which was first noticed by Mr. Pott. It is generally produced by the accidental rupture of a spermatic vein, during violent and sudden exertion, as in straining to lift a heavy weight, when blood immediately es- capes into, and infiltrates the loose areolar tissue along the cord, where it accumulates, its further diffusion being prevented by the fascious envelope of this part. Mr. Pott has related three cases, all of which happened in this way. I have met with this variety of hasmatocele, coupled with extravasation in the scrotum, in two or three instances of contusion, of this part. In one case in which the effusion in the cord was on the left side the spermatic veins were varicose. Encysted hcematocele of the spermatic cord results
