Abstract:Background
The presence of unilateral right-sided varicocele hints at a serious retroperitoneal disease such as renal cell neoplasm.

We report a rare presentation of right-sided renal tumor causing right-sided varicocele in the absence of thrombus in renal vein and spermatic vein but due to an anomalous vein draining from the tumor into the spermatic vein as demonstrated by computed tomography angiogram.
