Abstract

This report documents a case of asynchronous bilateral testicular infarction. The patient was a 42- year-old man who presented with left testicular pain and swelling. He had a past history of right idiopathic testicular infarction and underwent a right orchiectomy 6 years ago. He also had received treatment for 5 years for suspected polyarteritis nodosa (PAN). The left scrotal pain persisted for a week and left orchiectomy was performed. Pathological evaluations demonstrated a benign testis with testicular hemorrhage and chronic vasculopathy. There was no fibrinoid necrosis of medium-size vessel walls which characterizes PAN. In this report, we review the pathogenesis, risk of contralateral testicular infarction, and management of testicular infarction.
