Abstract

We present the clinical course, sonographic and MRI findings of an intratesticular arteriovenous malformation (AVM) found in a patient during routine check-up for infertility evaluation. Seven years ago, patient’s refusal for surgical removal of the lesion led to follow-up ultrasound examinations and finally to an MRI examination. Arteriovenous malformations of male genitalia have been reported in the literature (penis, scrotum, spermatic cord and epididimys). However, this is the second case of an intratesticular AVM and the first one with a long clinical follow-up.
