Palpable scrotal mass, acute scrotal pain, and enlarged scrotum are common scenarios in clinical practice. These symptoms are frequently caused by abnormalities and alterations of the vessels within the scrotal sack. This chapter reviews syndromes related to the vasculature of the scrotum, including both the arteries and veins. A miscellany number of less frequent diseases are also included to complete differential diagnostic evaluations. In addition, a full description of the anatomy of the vessels within the scrotal sack and a brief reminder of the embryological development of these vessels provide morphological background and complete this chapter.
