Right-sided varicocele thrombosis complicating an acute epididymo-orchitis: A case report and review of the literature

Unilateral right-sided varicocele is a rare and warning condition that should hint at a serious retroperitoneal disease such as renal cell neoplasm. Furthermore, its thrombosis is such an unusual entity that only a few cases have been described. We review the literature and report, to our knowledge,...

description Unilateral right-sided varicocele is a rare and warning condition that should hint at a serious retroperitoneal disease such as renal cell neoplasm. Furthermore, its thrombosis is such an unusual entity that only a few cases have been described. We review the literature and report, to our knowledge, the second case of acute scrotal pain caused by unilateral right-sided varicocele thrombosis complicating an ipsilateral epididymo-orchitis, with no underlying coagulopathy or abdominal neoplasm, to illustrate the clinical, morphologic and therapeutic features of this entity.
