-==Overview==
-A '''hydrocele''' denotes a [[pathology|pathological]] accumulation of [[serous]] fluid in a bodily cavity.

-A [[hydrocele testis]] is the accumulation of fluids around a [[testicle]], and is fairly common.  It may be treated surgically. It can occur in infants undergoing peritoneal dialysis.  A [[hydrocele testis]] is due to fluid secreted from a remnant piece of [[peritoneum]] wrapped around the testis in the [[tunica vaginalis]]. It can also be as a result of cancer, trauma (such as a hernia), or [[orchitis]]. It can also be the result of a plugged inguinal lymphatic system caused by repeated chronic infection of Wucheria bancrofti or Brugia malayi, two mosquito-borne parasites of Africa and S.E. Asia, respectively. As such the condition would be a part of more diffuse sequelae commonly referred to as [[elephantiasis]].
