Buerger's Disease in the Testicle: A Case of Testicular Thromboangiitis Obliterans.

Thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO), otherwise known as Buerger's disease, is a rare, non-atherosclerotic inflammatory vasculopathy that typically affects small and medium-sized arteries of the distal extremities. Smoking is believed to be integral to the pathogenesis, as TAO primarily affects young male smokers. The disease is characterized by extremity pain secondary to ischemia that may progress to ulceration, gangrene, and amputation. Involvement of the reproductive system is uncommon. Here, we offer a case of TAO presenting as a testicular mass lesion.
