Abstract
Slightly more than 50% of children and adolescents referred with varicocele have 15% or greater testicular asymmetry at presentation. Initial asymmetry is statistically more common in cases of earlier Tanner stages (1 to 3). Adolescents with 15% or greater testicular asymmetry who present at higher Tanner stages (4 and 5) show a trend toward a higher incidence of catch-up growth, although it is not significant.
