Loss of testicular volume associated with intratesticular varicocele

Int J Urol. 2005 Apr;12(4):422-3. doi: 10.1111/j.1442-2042.2005.01048.x.

Abstract

Intratesticular varicocele is a rare entity and its clinical significance is not well established. We report a case of left-sided intratesticular varicocele associated with a significant reduction in left testicular volume at follow up. This association has not been previously reported. Incidentally, our patient is also the youngest case reported in the literature to date.
