J Urol. 1989 Jul;142(1):106-7. doi: 10.1016/s0022-5347(17)38674-3.

Abstract

A 3-year-old boy underwent an operation for a right undescended testis. A small, elastic, hard mass attached loosely to the spermatic cord was noted in the inguinal canal away from the testis and epididymis. Pathological examination of this mass revealed mesonephric remnant tissue.
