Varicocele is an abnormal dilatation of the veins of the pampiniform plexus. Intratesticular varicocele, characterized by dilated intratesticular veins, is an extremely rare disorder. This is the second reported case of intratesticular varicocele demonstrated by using power Doppler sonography. Spermatocele is a common benign retention cyst most often located in the caput epididymis. This is the first intratesticular varicocele case concomitant with spermatocele. The authors believe that power Doppler sonography and gray-scale sonography are effective, rapid methods in the diagnosis of intratesticular varicocele and spermatocele.

Key Words: intratesticular • varicocele • spermatocele • sonography • diagnosis
