Intratesticular varicocele, a rare condition, was identified alongside a standard extratesticular varicocele in a male patient. This case highlights key sonographic findings for diagnosing this uncommon scrotal abnormality.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Radiology
  • Andrology

Background:

  • Varicocele affects approximately 15% of males, commonly involving the pampiniform plexus.
  • Intratesticular varicocele is an uncommon variant, presenting diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • A routine sonographic examination revealed multiple hypoechoic, serpiginous, tubular structures within the left testis.
  • These structures exhibited low-level internal echoes, characteristic of venous malformations.

Findings:

  • Duplex Doppler and color flow imaging confirmed a low-flow venous pattern with phasic variation.
  • Findings were consistent with intratesticular varicocele, co-occurring with extratesticular varicocele in the left pampiniform plexus.

Implications:

  • Accurate sonographic diagnosis of intratesticular varicocele is crucial.
  • Differential diagnoses for intratesticular varicocele include cysts, hematomas, epidermoid cysts, and tubular ectasia.
