Hodenhülle

English translation: tunica testis

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Hodenhülle
English translation:tunica testis
Entered by: margarete

German to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / Hodenkrebs
German term or phrase: Hodenhülle
Es geht hier nicht um S&M sondern um Anatomie.

Wie heisst das genau auf english. Ich habe "tunica albuginea testis" gefunden, aber ich glaube das ist nur ein Teil davon. Und da es um Krebs geht ist es sehr wichtig, wo hier keine Infiltration ist:

"Seminom ohne nachweisbare Infiltration des Nebenhodens, der Hodenhülle sowie des Samen- und Gefäßstranges..."

Vielen Dank fuer die Hilfe!!

neutral  Richard Benham: One also sees "tunica testis vaginalis"==but I am not sure the "vaginal" adds much.
