Infected surgical wound on scrotum. Close-up of an infected surgical wound on the scrotum of a 20- year-old man one week after an operation to remove an epididymal cyst. Pubic hair has been shaved from the area prior to surgery. The epididymis, located behind the testis, is a long, convoluted tubule in which sperm mature. Epididymal cysts are fluid-filled swellings that develop on the tubule. They are very common in men over 40 and are usually harmless. Large or painful epididymal cysts may be surgically removed.
