    AbstractWe report a case of suppurative vasitis that presented as an inguinal mass in a young man. Inflammation of the vas deferens may occur as a manifestation of genital tuberculosis or other genitourinary tract infection. A granulomatous vasitis, vasitis nodosa, is usually associated with previous trauma or surgery. Suppuration is rare. We report a case that represents a rare cause of an inguinal mass.
