Acute testicular infarction in the setting of SARS-CoV-2 infection and diabetic vasculopathy.

Acute testicular pain with no arterial flow on Doppler ultrasonography is highly consistent with testicular torsion. In adults, there are rare etiologies of testicular infarction other than torsion, including infection, vasculitis, and trauma. We describe a 41-year-old man with type 2 diabetes complicated by severe vasculopathy and positive SARS-CoV-2 status presenting with acute right testicular pain. Surgical exploration and pathology were concerning for arteriosclerosis and vasculitis. These observations suggest that medically complex patients presenting with acute testicular pain in the setting of COVID-19 infection could be at risk for ischemia; causes of testicular pain beyond torsion should be considered.
