  • Title: [Vasitis nodosa].
    Author: Llarena Ibarguren R, Vesga Molina F, Marín Lafuente JC, Pertusa Peña C.
    Journal: Arch Esp Urol; 1997 Jun; 50(5):534-6. PubMed ID: 9382600.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of vasitis nodosum causing spontaneous recanalization of the vas deferens. METHODS: Herein we describe a patient who had undergone vasectomy 9 years earlier. A nodule in the vas deferens arising from granulomatous reaction had progressed to vasitis nodosum, causing spontaneous recanalization of the vas deferens. RESULTS: Vasitis nodosum may be more frequent than it is considered to be although clinical problems rarely arise. CONCLUSION: Confusion may arise in distinguishing the histological features of vasitis nodosum from those of adenocarcinomatous neoplasia. Although rarely, its growth may cause recanalization of the vas deferens in vasectomized patients.
