A 38-year-old man who had a vasectomy a year

ago presents with chronic pain arising from the right epididymis. He states

that the pain comes and goes to some extent, but has been going on for 8 months

and is now much worse. Antibiotics as well as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory

drugs have not helped. This patient suffers from what is called post vasectomy

pain syndrome, which occurs in some patients after this procedure. Fluid

produced by the testicle accumulates and causes congestive inflammation. Here,

unfortunately, removal of the epididymis is necessary. What will the tissue

that is sent for histological examination look like after the procedure?
