[Spontaneous thrombosis of the pampiniform plexus--case report].
Spontaneous thrombosis of the pampiniform plexus is a extremely rare condition, with only 9 cases reported in the literature. We report here a case of this entity and demonstrate that surgical exploration should be indicated to rule out some of these other conditions, such as a tumor of the intrascrotal component, acute scrotum or inguinal herniation.
