Abstract

We report a case of exercise-induced spontaneous thrombosis of the left spermatic vein. The sonographic appearance mimicked an incarcerated left inguinal hernia by demonstrating a tubular, hypoechoic, noncompressible, cystic appearing inguinal mass with no flow evident on color Doppler imaging.
