RESUMO
Tubular ectasia of rete testis (TERT) is a rarely seen benign condition of testis which can cause chronic orchalgia. TERT appears as an anechoic lesion in ultrasonography. However magnetic resonance imaging is a more sophisticated diagnostic tool. TERT is commonly associated with epididymal cysts. Generally a conservative treatment approach is preferred. In some cases surgery is required. In our case, 54-year-old male patient had bilateral TERT associated with bilateral multiple epididymal cysts. He had chronic testicular pain which did not respond to first- line conservative treatments. After use of duloxetine (60 mg PO) plus gabapentine (400 mg PO) combination as a second-line conservative treatment, the patient dramatically responded to this treatment. The patients who have chronic testicular pain caused by bilateral TERT and multiple epididymal cysts may be treated with combination of duloxetine (60 mg PO) plus gabapentine (400 mg PO) combination.
