[Variants of formation of v. testicularts sinistra in children with varicocele].
Biopsies of veins of 20 boys with varicocele were studied morphologically. Three types of veins were observed. The first type was represented by veins with a wide lumen and the wall consisting of three layers of smooth muscle cells. The second morphological variant--veins of varying diameter of irregular shape and thin, frequently sclerosed wall. The third type were veins of a small diameter with well developed muscular layer. Immunohistochemical studies detected disturbances of vascular wall components suggesting the development of varicocele as a complex of congenital pathology with secondary alteration and destabilisation of compensatory processes.
