• A spermatocele (SPUR-muh-toe-seel) is an abnormal sac (cyst) that develops in the epididymis - the small, coiled tube located on the upper testicle that collects and transports sperm. Noncancerous and generally painless, a spermatocele usually is filled with milky or clear fluid that might contain sperm.
