Vasculitis is a hallmark of the disease and may involve arteries, veins, and capillaries. Varicocele is dilatation of the pampiniform plexus veins. We aimed to investigate the incidence of varicocele in patients with Beh\u00e7et disease.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study included 47 male patients with Beh\u00e7et disease and 31 healthy control participants. All underwent a clinical evaluation including a medical history and systemic and scrotal examinations. Subsequently, 2 investigators blinded to the clinical data performed sonographic examinations and measured pampiniform plexus vein diameters.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The mean age of the patients \u00b1 SD was 23.4 \u00b1 3.2 years; disease durations ranged from 3 to 120 months (46 \u00b1 31 months). Scrotal pain or a palpable mass was detected by clinical examination in 24 patients with Beh\u00e7et disease (51.1%) and 5 healthy participants (16.1%; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .002). By color Doppler examination, left varicocele was diagnosed in 26 patients with Beh\u00e7et disease (55.3%) and 9 healthy participants (29%; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .02). All patients with right varicocele also had left varicocele; that condition was detected in 10.6% (5 patients) of the Beh\u00e7et disease group and 6.4% (2 patients) of the control group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &gt; .05). Eight patients with Beh\u00e7et disease (17%) had epididymitis, whereas none of the healthy participants did (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .019, Fisher exact test). Genital ulcers and erythema nodosum lesions were more common among patients with varicocele (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .034 and .058, respectively). There were no differences in smoking, epididymitis, arthritis, uveitis, or other clinical parameters for distinguishing varicocele in patients with Beh\u00e7et disease.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The incidence of varicocele was increased in Beh\u00e7et disease.
