Abstract
Inflammation of spermatic cord, epididymis, and testis is known as funiculitis, epididymitis, and orchitis, respectively. Usually, the involvement of one structure invites the involvement of other as these three structures are anatomically continuous and are provided with common lymphatics and lymph nodes (Pani 2013). These manifestations are seen in bancroftian filariasis and not in brugian filariasis.
