Intratesticular varicocele is a rare entity and its clinical significance is not well established. We report a case of left‐sided intratesticular varicocele associated with a significant reduction in left testicular volume at follow up. This association has not been previously reported. Incidentally, our patient is also the youngest case reported in the literature to date.
