  • The vestigial remains of part of the embryonic mesonephros that are found near the testis of the adult.
  • Some of the mesonephric collecting tubules persist as the functional vasa efferentia but the rest degenerate almost completely.
  • A smililar vestigial structure (a paroophoron) is found in females.
