Hydrocele accompanying testicular cavernous hemangioma: A infant case report

A rare pediatric scrotal hemangioma: A case report and comprehensive analysis of n Bloc Excision as definitive treatment

INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE

Hemangiomas, abnormal growths of vascular endothelial cells, are common vascular tumors in children. In contrast, their prevalence is 1-3 % in full-term newborns. Their unique location and associated complications can cause significant distress for patients and families. Prompt treatment is crucial to prevent complications such as fertility issues, hemorrhage, or other related problems. This case study explores the diagnosis and management of scrotal hemangiomas, emphasizing the importance of timely intervention.

CASE PRESENTATION

A 10-year-old boy with a scrotal hemangioma since birth underwent surgical excision due to increased discomfort caused by a new lesion. 2.5 × 2.3 cm hemangioma was successfully removed through En Bloc Excision. The patient experienced a swift recovery, and histopathologic analysis confirmed the diagnosis of cavernous hemangioma. This case underscores the importance of careful monitoring and decisive intervention in managing scrotal hemangiomas.

CLINICAL DISCUSSION

Scrotal hemangiomas often present challenges in diagnosis, mimicking malignant tumors. Clinical examination, ultrasonography, and histopathology are crucial for accurate diagnosis. Various surgical techniques, including En Bloc Excision, have been employed, with postoperative care tailored to individual cases. Precise preoperative diagnosis is essential to distinguish scrotal hemangiomas from other conditions and guide appropriate management strategies.

CONCLUSION

This case study highlights the management of a scrotal hemangioma through En Bloc Excision, emphasizing the importance of considering definitive treatment options. The comprehensive scrotal examination is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective management of this rare vascular tumor.

Inguinoscrotal hernia revealing a testicular hemangioma: Report of a neonatal case

Testicular hemangioma (TH) is a congenital, uncommon and non-malignant testicular tumor. In the following report, we present a child who was brought to our emergency department with swelling of the right scrotum. Investigations were consistent with a TH and an associated hernia. We conducted an inguinal exploration given the hernia accompanying the TH. The pathological tissue findings were suggestive of a TH. In our further research, we found that this was the first neonatal hemangioma in the literature. It's important to know that an inguinal hernia can lead to the non-recognition of certain tumors.

Pediatric Testicular Cavernous Hemangioma With Acute Onset Mimicking Testicular Torsion: Case Report and Review of the Literature

Testicular cavernous hemangioma is a rare benign vascular tumor that typically occurs in childhood and adolescence. The clinical presentation may be variable and lead to diagnostic difficulties. We report an atypical presentation of intratesticular cavernous hemangioma with acute onset mimicking testicular torsion in a teenager. Inadvertent minor scrotal injury may have probably triggered the rupture of the hemangioma, leading to hemorrhage and infarction of the testicle. Although ultrasonography findings and serum tumor markers may be helpful in differential diagnosis, surgical exploration, and pathology examination are essential for definitive diagnosis.
