Abstract	Background Aneurysm of the testicular artery is a rare entity; the term is described as the dilation of any blood vessel in the body. Case report An 18-year-old patient with a left testicular artery aneurysm, with no family or personal history of medical importance, presented for consultation due to a volume increase of long evolution in the inguinal region, accompanied by sporadic pain with no other symptoms. The testicular artery aneurysm was not detectable preoperatively by ultrasound, which only reported data compatible with left inguinal hernia and varicocele. The diagnosis was made postoperatively by a histopathological study. This case highlights the presentation of a true aneurysm of the testicular artery and the result after definitive surgical treatment. Conclusions The etiology of the aneurysm and pseudoaneurysm reported in the literature is described after a testicular trauma and, a few cases of congenital origin. The clinical manifestations are pain and an inguinal mass, which can be frequently confused with inguinal hernias or an aggregated pathology. Therefore, the approach of patients with inguinal or testicular pathology should be protocolized and include aneurysm within the differential diagnoses.
