Probably so!: Yes, if you had a normal ultrasound, then you do have an epididymis. Since it's coiled and loopy, it can feel lumpy. If you go to Wikipedia and search "epididyus" (yes, you did spell that correctly), you can view a cross section of the testicle and its adjacent structures. Then, you'll be able to "see" what you "feel." Unless you notice pain, swelling or discoloration, no worries!

How accurate are CT scans? Is it possible that the doctor could mistake my ovary for something else in a CT scan? I had one done and he said the CT scan showed a low density structure in my proximal sigmoid colon as well as a mass in my right pelvis.

I found a left varicocele and a hard module on the right testis. I asked if the lump was a cyst of the epididymis, but he said it was directly on the testis. He did not diagnose; he said to wait until it is 1cm. Do MDs usually not diagnose lumps?
