Abstract
We report a 57-year-old man who visited a local hospital because of a fist- sized swelling and pain in his right scrotum. Surgically resected tissue re vealed necrotizing arteritis in a small spermatic artery. As systemic sympt oms for angiitis were not present. this is thought to be the second case of isolated angiitis occurring in the spermatic cord.
