Abstract:
Intratesticular varicocele is a rare entity and refers to a dilated intratesticular vein radiating from the mediastinum testis into the testicular parenchyma. A 22-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with left testicular pain. On physical examination, a grade III varicocele was noted on the left side. Gray-scale ultrasound and color Doppler ultrasound examinations revealed intratesticular and extratesticular varicocele. The patient underwent spermatic vein ligation by open modified Palomo varicocelectomy.
