Hemorrhagic infarctions of testis due to intimal fibroplasia of spermatic artery.
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.
