Review Case Reports
[Thromboangiitis obliterans of the spermatic cord: a case report].
A 61-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a 8-day history of dull pain and swelling in the bilateral scrotum and bilateral inguinal region. Neoplasma of the spermatic cord was suspected, and bilateral orchiectomy was immediately carried out. ⋯ In such a case, surgical exploration is recommended, and a biopsy must be performed for a definitive diagnosis, but orchiectomy should not be readily selected. Our patient is the first reported case in Japan to our knowledge.
