Abstract
Vasculitis refers to a group of diseases, which are defined by the presence of leukocytes in the walls of vessels that disrupt the architecture of the vessel. This increases the risk of breakage, bleeding, occlusion or ischemia. The types of vasculitis are generally distinguishable from one another by the size, location, and type of vessels involved. They can be either isolated or associated to certain diseases. Infiltrating the vessels may cause bleeding, ischemia or tumor-like formations. We report a necrotizing vasculitis associated with a testicular mass.
