title: Hemorrhagic infarctions of testis due to intimal fibroplasia of spermatic artery.
abstract: Two cases of hemorrhagic infarctions of the testis are presented. The infarctions were due to intimal fibroplasia of the branches of the spermatic artery; to our knowledge, a condition described only in the kidney. The differences between intimal fibroplasia and the lesions of polyarteritis nodosa and thromboangiitis obliterans are discussed.
