Right testicular pain: unusual presentation of obstruction of the ureteropelvic junction.
The authors report a case of right ureteropelvic junction obstruction in an otherwise healthy 31-year-old man. Because of previous surgical manipulation of the right testicle, the diagnosis was obscured, delaying therapeutic intervention. Renal pain often refers to the testicle and groin, and testicular pain to the flank. Therefore evaluation of organs in the primary referral distribution must be considered in cases of obscure intractable pain in this area.
