A 53-year old man first recognized swelling of the left scrotum five years ago. Ultrasound examination revealed spermatocele, consisted of two layers, fluid area and hyperechoic sediment. Cloudy fluid containing a large amount of cholesterol crystals was aspirated from the spermatocele. To the best of our knowledge, this case is the first spermatocele with cholesterol crystals in the Japanese literature.
