Cavernous Hemangioma of Scrotum and Penile Shaft

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 heterogenous tumor, a hemangioma, having dimensions of 3.5 × 2.5 × 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.

Diagnosis of Penile Hemangioma by Use of Biopty Gun for Corpus cavernosum Biopsy

“…Some authors reported on arteri ography showing a venous hemangioma with arterial supply of the pudendal arteries. Cavemosography and venography have been per formed with the contrast medium emptying into the dorsal penile vein, saphenous vein and external iliac vein [5,7,13] as in our case.…”

Large Genital Cavernous Hemangioma: A Rare Surgically Correctable Entity

“…Lesions on the glans are cosmetically important and have poor outcomes by surgical procedures [ 1 ], so a conservative treatment and watchful waiting are a viable option. Few authors have reported the surgical excision of these large lesions but the outcome and follow-up reports have been inconsistently reported [ 1 , 6 , 20 , 21 ].…”

“…Literatürde, skrotumda görülen hemanjiyom vakaları 100'ü geçmemektedir. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Skrotuma lokalize olabildikleri gibi perineuma, penise veya intraskrotal alana yayılabilmektedirler. Yayılım bölgesine ve semptomlara göre tedavi değişmektedir.…”
