Cavernous hemangioma of scrotum and penile shaft

Urol Int. 1986;41(4):309-11. doi: 10.1159/000281225.

Abstract

We report a 13-year-old boy with two independently detected cavernous hemangiomas of the scrotum and the penile shaft. A right scrotal cavernous hemangioma was incidentally found at the age of 6 years by a histological examination of a right scrotal hematoma attributed to contusion. The patient noticed a soft tumor of the penile shaft at the age of 10 and gradual enlargement of the tumor during the next 3 years. He consulted our department at the age of 13. An ultrasonic echogram revealed a heterogeneous tumor, a hemangioma, having dimensions of 3.5 X 2.5 X 1.5 cm and no connection of the corpus cavernosum penis. The tumor was completely removed surgically by means of circumcision on March 30, 1984, and histological examination demonstrated a cavernous hemangioma.
