Non-Neoplastic Lesions
  • Testis: edema (includes bilateral); germinal epithelium, atrophy (includes bilateral); interstitial cell, hyperplasia, diffuse, bilateral; interstitial cell, hyperplasia, focal (includes bilateral); rete testis, fibrosis (includes bilateral); rete testis, sperm granuloma; seminiferous tubule, dysgenesis (includes bilateral)
  • Epididymis: hypospermia (includes bilateral)
  • Prostate gland: decreased secretory fluid

  • Seminal vesicle: small (1/48, 2/49, 2/48, 1/49, 7/46)
  • Vas deferens: right, not present (0/48, 0/49, 0/48, 0/49, 2/46)
