Lymphocytes are present in the mucosa of the rete testis with evidence of compartmentalization between the epithelium and lamina propria. T lymphocytes of CD8+ phenotype appear to be restricted primarily to the epithelium lining the rete testis; lymphocytes of the CD4+ phenotype are found mainly in...
This lining epithelium abruptly changes to the simple cuboidal epithelium of the tubuli rectus and rete testis tubules. A single cuboidal epithelial cell of the rete testis has a single, very long (longer than the height of the cell) true cilium, and its function is unknown. No evidence of...
The mutant mice developed unilateral or bilateral cystic dilation in the rete testis (RT). Dye trace indicated partial blockages in the testicular hilum. Morphological and immunohistochemical evaluations revealed that the lining epithelium of the cysts possessed similar characteristics of RT epithelium, ...
Microscopy It is a cystic, sometimes papillary lesion lined with cuboidal cells without atypia or mitotic figures. The lesion is centered in the hilum of the testis and transition from normal rete epithelium is helpful in supporting the diagnosis. The lining cells are cuboidal to columnar and stra...

The basal cell layer has cuboidal cells which lack rete ridges, the cyst lining has buddings and is much folded. HISTOPATHOLOGICAL TYPES OF ODONTOGENIC KERATOCYST - A STUDY Mild hyperkeratosis, acanthosis in the epidermis with elongation of the rete ridges, and dilated vascular structures in the...
The fine structure of the epithelium lining the extratesticular rete testis, ductuli efferentes and ductus epididymidis of the rabbit has been investigated. In the ductuli efferentes the epithelium is composed of two cell types, principal cells and ciliated cells. The latter cell type is ...
epitheliumand the lumen. Within the epithelium, theSertoli cellprovides structural and nutritional support for the developing germ cells; the lumen allows sperm and secretory products to be transported out of the testis. The interstitium contains the blood and lymphatic vessels responsible for the ...
lining of the small-sized cysts is similar to that of rete tubules and the large-sized cysts are lined by epithelium where, the cells show the loss of polarity. Most larger rete cysts are round in shape than the smaller ones.9Age is not a predisposing factor for the production of rete ...
