The patient is placed in the relaxed lithotomy position, and the scrotum is elevated cephalad with...

We report a very rare case of unique traumatic spermatic cord hematoma following scrotum injury occurred during a football match. Clinical exam showed an increased volume of the left spermatic cord; the color Doppler ultrasound (CDU) demonstrated ...
