Abstract
A 23-year-old man immigrated from Sri Lanka came to our observation for an acute painful volume increase of the right scrotum without fever. Clinical examination suggested a diagnosis of testis torsion. An exploratory surgical procedure was performed. An inflammatory spermatic cord and epididymis with a purple nodule of the middle portion were found. The nodule was excised and sent to pathologist that diagnosed a filarial infection. The patient was successfully treated with diethylcarbamazine.Entities:
