Arteriovenous malformation of the spermatic cord as the cause of acute scrotal pain: A case report

Abstract

Arteriovenous malformations of the lower urinary tract are uncommon lesions, usually presenting as scrotal masses. A case of recurrent acute scrotal pain mimicking testicular torsion that was attributed to the presence of an arteriovenous malformation of the spermatic cord is described. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of an arteriovenous malformation of the spermatic cord presenting with acute scrotal pain. © 2007 Sountoulides et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.
