ABSTRACT
Scrotal hemangioma is a rare benign vascular tumour mostly occuring in child and young adults. We report a case of cavernous hemangioma of the scrotum of an 14-month-old infant who consulted for a scrotal mass that had been present since birth. He was diagnosed with right scrotal tumor based on the physical examination and ulrasound findings. Serum tumour markers including Beta- human chorionic gonadotropin and Alpha- fetoprotein, were normal. The child underwent exision of the tumour in view of a suspicious lesion in the scrotum. On histology, the tumour was diagnosed as cavernous hemangioma. To date, only a small number of cases and retrospective series have been described. We report this observation in view of its rarity and the necessity to know this unusual location, mainly by surgeons and pathologists.
