An epididymal cyst is a cavernous structure that occurs above the fallopian tube near the testicle. These cysts can be the result of blockage of the sebaceous glands in the testicle or epididymis. In most cases, epididymal cysts are asymptomatic and do not require any specific treatments. However, if they are too large or cause discomfort or complications, surgical intervention may be necessary.
