C
In light-skinned individuals, a scrotal mass with a bluish discoloration involves dilated veins in the pampiniform plexus of the spermatic cord (varicocele). Accumulation of fluid does not occur in the testis, but in the scrotum (hydrocele). Blockage of the efferent ductiles of the rete testis is the cause for the formation of the spermatocele. A sebaceous cyst contains sebum, an oily, fatty matter secreted by the sebaceous glands or ducts that presents as a round, firm, cystic nodule confined within the scrotal sac.
