Abstract

The current case report describes a 35-year-old man who presented with unilateral scrotal angiomas. The presence of unilateral scrotal angiomas was associated with an underlying varicocele on the ipsilateral side due to increased venous pressure. In case of unilateral scrotal angiomas further examination for underlying pathology is necessary.

Keywords: Angiokeratoma; scrotal angioma; unilateral angioma; varicocele; venous ectasia.
