AB  - The epididymis is the most common source of acute and 
chronic scrotal pain in the outpatient setting, yet there 
are no standardized methods for proper palpation of this 
organ. We describe a novel scrotal examination technique 
that is reproducible and easy to learn. Our technique 
utilizes a maneuver we call testicular ‘framing’, and in 
our experience this maneuver almost invariably leads to 
proper diagnosis of epididymal pathology by facilitating 
successful palpation of the epididymal head, body and tail.
